A game played with two dowels and a rag (preferably a thin yellow fabric that falls slowly). The object of the game is to maintain control of the rag by swishing it through the air so as to prevent the opponent from capturing it with their dowel, either for a set period of time or until one or both sides tire. It is played with a stance similar to fencing.

Variations of the sport include:

Drunken Man-Tag, where both parties spin around 15-20 times before attempting to control the rag.

Cross-Country Man-Tag, where the sport is carried through several rooms, or even outside.

Searching on Facebook will yield groups with official diagrams for the sport.
“It seems kind of silly, swishing a rag through the air with a wooden dowel, but with a name like Man-Tag, you can’t go wrong.”

“I almost got my eye poked out playing Man-Tag."

mantagonize

For one man to force another man to do anything through male peer pressure in that special trademark way.

This includes verbally degrading their ability to do anything or stressing a scoff full of testosterone and disbelief to make the person feel inept.

Usually ends up including "do you want me to do it FOR you?", and typically ending up with the situation in question turning out poorly even though the person in question succumbed to the mantagonizing.

AJ: Fine, I'll park here.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
