A special flavor of manly angst, emanating primarily from guys preoccupied with being "real men" (i.e., tough, strong, brooding, some flavor of urban warrior). Primarily caused when the guy feels his masculinity assailed, be it from someone keying his Hummer, a physical imperfection like premature balding, or being confronted by someone who breaks traditional gender roles.

Another variant of mangst is the old brooding, angst-ridden artist bit. What perhaps began as a James Dean impression to score arty chicks imperceptibly morphed into full blown, chronic mangst.
Did you check out last night's episode of Sons of Anarchy? So much mangst!

Chad: Bro! My mom went totally bat shit today!
other kid: she cut what happened?

Chad: She told me I could do homework at the house with some friends after school a couple hours ago and seemed totally fine, even said shed buy us all yerbs! Then when she got home she lost her mind! Drank all the yerbs, kicked everyone out screaming about how she never said they could come over and they were never allowed back. Then she came upstairs and told me she never wanted to see me again, and I had 5 minutes to get out before she called the cops!!! I grabbed my shit and dipped as fast as I could but she stood on the porch and threw empty yerb cans at me while I ran to my car. Then she's texting me trying to tell me that I abandoned her, making me feel all bad and shit. BUT NOW she's texting me all angry and shit trynna tell me I gotta come home and take the dog on a walk... IDK what's up with her man,, I think she's lost it fr.
Other guy: Nah bro don't sweat it, she's still in there somewhere. That Bitch just mangsty AF!
