Hello, everybody. My name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
You and me every day.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody. And welcome back to Daily EZ English Expression, the podcast. Thank you so much to my new sponsors.
Peter Rabel, Ihei Jung, Leonardo Quotoconrado, Combing Mao, and Julia Melnikova.
These are my new, wonderful, fantastic patrons.
I can't thank you enough.
If you guys if you're not a patron, but you're interested I will tell you how to do that at the end of today's Podcast so please listen up today's expression is so excellent.
It's one of my favorite expressions Man it up Man it up.
Come on boy. Man it up Man it up So this is a phrasal verb to man up.
M -a -n -u -p. And the expression is man it up.
So what does it mean to man it up?
It means act like a man.
Don't act like a child.
Don't act like a baby.
Act like a man. Don't Don't be weak and emotional like a woman.
Uh oh. Now all the ladies will be mad at me.
I'm sorry that's what we think.
Man it up! There are some guys who just are not manly enough.
They're weaker than some of the weakest women.
Those guys need to man it up.
Man it up. you know yesterday uh not yesterday about a week ago there was a little bit of rain that was raining out here and not many people carry an umbrella because it hardly ever rains well there was a guy and he looked like a pretty tough guy he was a big guy with a mustache tattoos on his arms and he He stepped outside, and he felt the rain coming down.
And what did he say?
This is exactly what he said.
Oh my God, it's raining.
And he runs back into the store.
And I was thinking to myself, oh my God.
Little girls in Sunday dresses are tougher than you, motorcycle baby man.
Man it up. come on!
Let's check out a dialogue.
Dad, I'm tired. Can we rest?
Only a little more to the top.
My legs hurt dad. Man it up son, man it up.
Be a man, be strong, don't be weak.
Mentally, physically, emotionally, be strong, be like a man.
Okay, let's be honest. Some men, perhaps many men, perhaps most men are actually not that strong.
I think behind every strong man, there's possibly a stronger woman.
Yeah, that might be true.
But I'm sorry ladies, we do not have the expression, woman it up.
However, you can actually say this expression to women.
It's not common, but it's pretty funny.
So I can imagine there are two ladies and they're drinking together, and one lady says to the other, let's have some whiskey.
And the other woman says, ooh no, whiskey's too strong and the first woman says, come on you, man Man it up!
Man it up! That would be pretty funny.
And I really think that conversation could take place.
Now another time this expression is horrible if a woman, especially the wife or girlfriend, tells her husband or boyfriend to man it up.
That's not cool guys.
Guys, you should always be a man.
I don't know what your definition of being a man is, but we have an idea, and I'm sure around the world, it's pretty similar.
Man it up! Let's check out that dialogue two more times.
Dad, I'm tired! Can we rest?
Only a little more to the top.
My legs hurt, Dad. Man it up, son.
Man it up. Dad I'm tired can we rest?
Only a little more to the top.
My legs hurt dad. Man it up son.
Man it up. Once again, thank you so much everybody for listening and downloading my podcasts.
