A baby shower thrown in honor of a dad-to-be. Also called a mower (pronounced "mao-wer"), the manshower will usually involve a round of golf or some other athletic activity with just the fellas, as a sort-of last outing with the dad-to-be before he has to reprioritize (and rightfully so) his free time in order to accommodate his growing family's many needs. To qualify as a true mower, the athletic activity must be followed by a post-activity meal consisting of beef and beer.
Jack: "Dude, are you going to Kur's baby's shower?"
Drew: "No, man, I don't do finger foods, and baby games, and gift exchanges."
Jack: "My bad, I meant are you going to Kur's manshower?"
Drew: "Why didn't you say so? When's the tee time?"

The weekend long right of passage thrown by buddies for a great guy after he announces he will be a father for the first time. The party typically includes: fine aged ribs, pork shoulder and artisanal cheese fixed in a Valhalla fashion with micro beer and such and in a get away "guys only fashion", hour to hour events are based around lollygagging games and tom foolery that dudes enjoy and take delight in, all to divert attention away from the conscious fact that one of their close buddies will soon pull away from the pack and devote his attention to the needs of his family.
Corey texted his friends that he was going to be a father for the first time. Slowly his buddies texted him back to congratulate him and ask when they could throw him a Manshower Weekend, to honor his ability to procreate.
