Correct spelling would be Yi-Ei-Man

The term is directly related to the terms Aye and Aye Aye

It was a phrase that the people of the north of the Britians, developed as a sort of war cry when Vikings were attacking their coastlines.

The Britians used to yell the words "Yi-Ei-Man" to the attacking Vikings, which mean literally "No, Always, Man"

The phrase was intending to imply that the Britains would never join the Vikings crews and would fight to the death down to the last man.

In modern times the words have completely lost all meaning and the phrase is just a sort of slang way of agreeing to something - ironically exactly the opposite of what it should be.

Pulled a Mann-y

Talking trash behind the safety of the internet, and when getting called out or caught up in it, turning it all around and going from Bully to Victim. Also blaming everything you screw up at on others. As if they are the sole responsibility for your fucked up situations that you yourself put yourself into.
Pulled a Man-y: I lost my job at AT&T (when they found how I was trolling several groups hard and it looked bad on the company) so I totally "pulled a Mann-y" and blamed it all on the strangers that have it out for me. They constantly harass me day and night and have it out for me. I blame all my shortcomings on them. I also will start GoFundMe accounts to try and get people to pay for me being unemployed.
