An individual talented in all spheres of human endeavour, including but not limited to sports, art, science, war, philosophy and music.
Some renaissance men of great repute include Leonardo Da Vinci and Goethe.
If you try and think of examples of Renaissance men, remember that it is not enough that they have brilliant minds (hence Einstein is out), nor is it enough that they are fine sportsmen (hence no Carl Lewis) or are well hung and virile (so no Shergar) and nor is it sufficient that they are musically gifted (so we omit Beethoven). It is a requirement that they are talented in ALL these areas.
I myself am a renaissance man, as I am a fine athelete, an excellent scholar, have an ear for music a talent for art and a way with the ladies.

Two minutes after sitting down, I realized that Todd's friend Rick was a Renaissance Dick - a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan and Noam Chomsky devotee' who also believed the 911 attacks were orchestrated by the Israelis.

Get the Renaissance Dick mug.An individual who actively studies and/or engages in several practices/crafts/trades which would generally be incongruent with one another, therefore not only making the feat of accomplishing mastery in multiple fields being impressive, but also the seemingly unusual combination in which those fields come together. This modern term is derived from the Renaissance polymath Leonardo Da Vinci, who achieved legendary status in the practices of painting, sculpting, inventing, engineering, anatomy, and architecture.
“I heard he’s in a lot of different bags.”
“Yeah, I saw him at the after party last Friday night dropping acid with a model and the next day he was at the opera with his grandma.”
“A renaissance mans, still.”

Get the Renaissance Mans mug.1. Machiavelli's idea of the perfect man, excelling in both medieval qualities of a knight and the classy qualities of a man of the renaissance. In essence, the perfect man. Said to be da Vinci, but he procrastinated so he can't be.

Get the renaissance man mug.A place that's full of snakes and teachers who need some mental help. You see kindergarteners walking around the high school building and you are forced to ride buses with them if you can't afford a car. You've never wanted to beat a 6 year old so badly before you came here. And there's no hot guys! And the girls are all some fake thots even to there so called "friends".

Get the renaissance academy mug.Obviously breats; or "tits". When you think of women in the renaissance time period, you think large heaving breats popping out in your face, and normally not very tan either. So renaissance tits are big tits that are white, or pale.

Get the renaissance tits mug.Any unusually well-lit, well-composed, or well-timed photo that appears in your Snapchat memories after a night of heavy partying, typically with no recollection of you taking it. The subjects of these photos are usually fucked up people doing dumb shit.
This morning I opened my Snapchat memories and found a picture of John in the fetal position in my shower after spending an hour yakking. That’s a high quality Renaissance painting.
