Man Ternity 

The act of a man taking maternity/parental leave.

In many countries new parents are allowed to take legally protected time off from work to stay at home with their baby. Until the late 1990's this was only applicable to women not men.

Many men now partake in manternity to make it look like they are equal partners in the birthing/parenting process. In most cases it is a great way for men focus on beer drinking and daytime television.

It is seen as one of the only benefits single men are jealous of when looking at their married with children compatriots.

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.
