The M.A.N., or Masculine Acknowledgement Nod, is a gesture performed predominately between males and involves a quick, upward nod intended to show recognition of a fellow dude. While the M.A.N. is most often exchanged between friends or acquaintances, it can also be used on random passersby.
While at the local hardware store, Jim noticed the maintenance guy from his apartment building checking out the pipe wrenches and instinctively gave him the M.A.N., which was quickly reciprocated.
There is a global pandemic going on and you’re worried about a banter fest. I’m definitely not going to attend, don’t know about the rest of you, but I care about my life
The act of roasting physicsteachers and messaging the whole sixth form about why attending a banter fest during a global pandemic is an inadvisable thing to do.
Physics teacher: Hey guys I organised a banter fest for you next Monday. It'll be really fun!
Sensible person: There is a global pandemic going on and you’re worried about a banter fest. I’m definitely not going to attend, don’t know about the rest of you, but I care about my life
Physics teacher: Oh I'm sorry I didn't...

No. I don't need to apologize for rape. I didn't rape anyone. You are stealing both my life and my identity and replace it with YOUR shit life and convincing a gaggle of idiots to help you do it doesn't make you smart and it shouldn't distract from the fact that I was right about the "weaponized schizophrenia" and what it would lead to.
Hym "I'm not apologizing for a single Goddamn thing from the inside of an echo chamber made out of idiots. I'm not going to let a power tripping idiot twist my arm into making an apology for a rape I didn't commit or doing something that is benign. I'm not swapping lives because you don't like the shit I said."
