'The Man’ is not an abstract concept but a representation of a very real social structure created by generations past. This structure was created in order to keep people in check, and it works to ensure power (money) stays at the top by keeping the people at the bottom segregated, isolated and fighting one another.
Ultimately, ‘The Man’ serves to give word to a concept or entity that we cannot observe, but feel the effects of in our day to day lives. It is a manifestation of the intuitive understanding of the structures that keep us down.
The Man is typically blamed when injustice is so apparent it borders on the absurd. It is no surprise that the downtrodden often damn The Man or resort to dejected (and cynical) resignation of it. It is akin to "It is what it is".

I got arrested for driving without car insurance, even though I had it! The judge threw out the charge, but I had to pay the impound and court fees anyway! I cant afford a lawyer to fight this...
Just another example of The Man keeping me down!

Is comparable to God. The man has stunning good looks, killer style and intelligence of a rare breed. The Man has the power to slay any and all ladies but chooses not to; as he is choosing to wait for The Woman of his dreams. The man is destined to be a super hero; saving the world day by day. He is recognized and admired by all who know him. The man is a legend in flesh. The Man is respect. The Man is loyalty. The Man is inspiration.

Hole cards in the game of Texas Hold'em consisting of an Ace and a Ten. If a hand is won with The Man, the cards must be shown. If the cards are not shown, the person holding them is subject to anal penetration.
