Any discourse between two or more men involving the heartfelt discussions of feelings e.g. typically conversations traditionally thought to be the domain of women involving feelings about relationships etc.
First usage came in Autumn 2009, after a contentious self-help group began at Oxford University named Man collective Oxford founded by Alex Linsley, Merton college.
It was renowned with the infamous opening quotation 'Do you have balls? If so, how does it make you feel to be a man?'

Literally the masses and/or "the mainstream" of modern society who usually have little to no imagination nor toleration for ANYTHING unconventional. Basically a very Star Trek like BORG comprised of the overall populous, who do what they are told and rarely rock the boat, unless people of financial clout see money to be made in adopting (and eventually killing) something unconventional and/or "alternative" within respective multi media or even societal slogans, that DO end up with the watering down and eventual decimation of an idea and/or product as the collective majority thinks it hip.
If you are one who thinks for yourself, speaks your mind, and more or less goes and does what they want, YOU ARE NOT in the collective majority. ---but your life will be 10 times more difficult to live since you made a choice to be yourself and not parrot the current mantra of your less than imaginative or "self vigilant" society.

The best way to stay in contact with unloved ones, such as ex-girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, ex-wife, ex-husband, ex-spouse, ex-partner, ex-fuckbuddy, ex-relative and all other least favorite people. Collect calls are the most expensive option for calling, so use a payphone and dial 0 to show your ex-loved one how much you care.
Yo! I made a collect call to my ex from jail and the phone company banged her $30! Revenge ain't cheap!

A particular variation of the victim card in which a person gains sympathy or social status by amassing experiences of perceived sleights or injustices. Grievance-collecting can be entirely fabricated, true, or a mix of the two. Grievance-collectors can never forgive or see another side of the story, because surrendering any grievance would result in loss of power over other people. Grievance-collecting can be personal, or part of a politically correct group dynamic.
If you call her, she will be angry. If you don't call her, she will be angry. Either way, she gets what she wants, and it will be used against you - because she doesn't actually want to patch things up. She's just grievance-collecting.
