not man

This pen is not man. (The pen is not writing)
The device is not man. (The device is not operating)

my man not man

My "man not man" replaces the super irritating "its complicated" status and also expands on ambiguous relationships. My man not man could be a friends with benefits, a recent break up that didn't quite stick so you're still talking a little, being barely married, dissatisfaction with the relationship you're in, or any other semi-relationship.

Me: You are never going to guess what happened today.
Her: What?

Me: My phone butt dialed my man not man today. We never talk on the phone - just text. So -

Her: Wait butt dialed today - it's Valentine's Day!
Me: Oh shit you're right! This is a disaster!

Why Not Man

Refers generally to cannabis-based therapy but could also refer to other psychedelics, or more broadly to embracing nonchalance. Pending context, the expression could be an invitation to others to partake in an activity, or a declaration of indifference to one's carefree decision making. The expression is generally used without punctuation, similar to Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On', and is also seen abbreviated to WNM.

"You guys down for some Why Not Man when we go hiking later?"
"I just bought a pair of $400 cowboy boots, Why Not Man"

dead man not talking

The saving grace that runs through the minds of the mass of upper-crusty beneficiaries of Jeffrey Epstein’s recent “suicide.”

Instead of a “dead man walking,” we may be spared since he has become a dead man not talking!

not cool man

when someone does something that is not acceptable, "Not cool man!" is usually an appropriate phrase to inform them that what they did was not nice, cool, funny, or tolerated by society, or just you.

Uncool guy: My butt is so awesome....
Cool guy: Not cool man!
