The act of 'Manterpreting' is defined as the instance wherein a male, through no fault of his own but merely because he is a man, will misinterpret even the most basic instructions given to him by a woman, most often causing a job or chore to be done incorrectly and most likely causing great annoyance to the woman. Not to be confused with a man who just does not listen to instructions.
