Man

Man

In English, lower case man (pl. men) refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent). Although men typically have a male reproductive system, some intersex people with ambiguous genitals, and biologically female transgender people, may also be classified or self-identify as a "man".

Famous quotes containing the word man:

    The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
    Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)

    So, having no reply to give
    To what the old man said,
    I cried, ‘Come, tell me how you live!’
    And thumped him on the head.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Where there’s more of singing and less of sighing,
    Where there’s more of giving and less of buying,
    And a man makes friends without half trying
    That’s where the West begins.
    Arthur Chapman (1873–1935)
