Shorthand term for Mandrax (pronounced "Mandrakes"), a line of highly addictive British pharmaceutical tablets no longer in legal production. They act as barbiturates (or "downers") and were prescribed as sleeping aids in the late 60s and early 70s. They are prevalent on the drug market in many African countries, as well as a few south Asian countries. As Mandrax was initially produced in pill form and meant to be taken orally, many abusers ground up the pills and smoke them with Dagga, because like most other illicit substances, the effects are greatly enhanced when snorted, smoked, consumed in conjunction with alcohol or injected into the bloodstream. Short-term side effects are not much worse than your average anti-depressant (cramps, headaches, emotional problems, etc.) but loss of muscle control (resulting in the user suddenly collapsing) and toxin-induced psychosis have also been found to result from Mandrax use.

a generation of male television journalists that care less about answers and more about exposing personality in their reports. They were inspired into "journalism" by the person who asked President Clinton, "Boxers or briefs?" Comes from the phrase "Man Candy."
Carson Daly, Billy Bush and Ryan Seacrest are the Mandies who want their name to be part of their subject's answer.

A really quirky and awesome girl. She always has your back and stays with you to help you when you're down. She's shy, but when you get to know her she's hilarious and outgoing. Mandy has beautiful dark brown hair and a gorgeous smile. She loves being creative and will cheer anyone up when they need a smile. If you ever meet a Mandy, stick with her until the end.
