The most ultimate man-only vacation. Usually this trip involves heavy drinking, getting kicked out of something, and nearly dying. At camp sites, everybody who is not a mancationer hates the mancationers, likely because they can not understand the sheer awesomeness that is Mancation.

When a woman takes a break from men for awhile. It usually occurs after a period of back to back relationships or after a flurry of cringe worthy first dates. During her mancation, she doesn't date, go online or think about a relationship with a man. She purposefully takes herself off the market and out of the dating game. This period usually involves an increase in self-care, hanging with girlfriends, shopping, taking stock of her life and developing her career or new creative pursuits. Success frequently follows a mancation.
The guy at the coffee shop knows me well enough now that I don't need to tell him what I want. I just show up, hand him $1.99, and get my coffee. It's a total mansaction.
