Language, math, and "man"
The word "man" may be one of the funniest words in the English language when used as an adjective. Like "Man-boobs" or phrases like "Pregnant - with your man-babies". It's all quite hilarious.
Which is why if I ever write an Algebra text, rather than using symbols like F or K to indicate a field, I'll use the word "man". So then my text will be an hilarious endeavor into a study of man-vectors and man-algebras, and perhaps man-characters. The fun will never end.
And I could even introduce the "man-axioms," thus gaining ownmanship over my colleagues, as in:
Hilarity ensues.

ME: Ha ha ha! Your pitiful axiom scheme is no match for my mighty Man-Axioms!
Random Colleague to Whom I am Talking: But our axiom schemes are equivalent. In fact now that I look at them they are identical, except you use the term "man" instead of "field".
ME: Pitiful fool! Bow down before the might of me and my Man-Axioms.
Other guy: All right, but I still don't see why I have to do this.
Hilarity ensues.
