Where Did 'ManTwaddle' Come From?

Ok so we have already given the definition of 'ManTwaddle' to you; and we hope you agree it is a good definition, but where did the word come from in the first instance?

Well it was a quiet afternoon in the ManTwaddle household and we had sat down to watch a film that had recently been released.  The male of the household was very excited about the prospect of watching the film and had convinced / coerced / conned the female of the house to join them in watching it.

Now, to be fair it did take quite some time for the now immortal phrase to be uttered by the female of the house (approx 42 mins if memory serves me right) while watching the film; however it was still uttered, and was then used as a term to describe things that the male of the house found interesting and self indulgent.

So what was the film that caused the phrase to be uttered?  What was the context of the uttering?

Well it was 'Tusk'.

In the opinion of the male of the house - an amazing film: funny and disturbing in equal measure; another Kevin Smith masterpiece; a film that started his 'True North Trilogy'; a film that brought together well known actors such as Johnny Depp, Hayley Joel Osment, Michael Parks and Justin Long and put them in roles and a situation that you would never expect to see them in.  A plot that was gloriously developed from an original discussion topic on a SModcast podcast with Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier.

In the opinion of the female of the house - 'A load of self indulgent ManTwaddle'.

That was it.

The term 'ManTwaddle' had been born into existence.

At first it was met with laughter, derision and denial that the film was fitting of such a term.  However, on later reflection it was sorely conceded that the film could be referred to in such a way; along with a lot of other favourite films of the male of the house.

Now that is not to say that the film was not enjoyable and great to watch (in the opinion of the male of the house), but that the term 'ManTwaddle' did quite succinctly describe the style of the film.

Then over the following days and weeks the term kept resurfacing to describe items and activities that were interests of the male member of the house - now referred to as MT.

Comics?  ManTwaddle.

Guitars? ManTwaddle.

Cigars? ManTwaddle.

Jeeps? ManTwaddle.

In fact, everything MT enjoyed? ManTwaddle.

Therefore at that moment MT had a thought to himself.

If these areas of ManTwaddle interested him, then surely other men also had interests that were fitting of the ManTwaddle label?

And that the term 'ManTwaddle' should be used with pride, as a term of endearment, as a badge of honour to celebrate and revel in the glory of the interests of men.

And that my dear readers, brothers and men is when ManTwaddle.com was born.

A place to celebrate the ManTwaddle that we so love; to share in the joy of the inane, the foolish, the pointless and the trivial.

So join me please in helping to share all things...

... ManTwaddle.
