the man,
you know
The Man.
but seriously,
sort of
and forgive me for quoting as 'unreliable reference' as wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man
""The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage"
Sometimes things just bring out the repressed yippie that inhabits my spirit.
cheers,
avri
