A colleague had a ‘man cold’. I asked – what is a ‘man cold’? He sent me to this link. The definition of a man cold from the urban dictionary:

The name ‘man cold’ disguises the true terrible, debilitating disease that is the man cold. Nearly all men will die from man colds unless they are administered immediately with large amounts of mindless TV such as daytime TV, or children’s cartoons. It is essential that they not move from bed or a comfy sofa to allow for rehabilitation, and must have tissues and man cold medicine (such as chocolate biscuits, McDonalds, or a nice cup of tea) brought to them constantly by a nearby female.

‘Either i have meningitis, end stage brain cancer, or a man cold’

I have had a man cold. It is not fun.
