man flu is a serious illness, which only effects men. if a woman could contract it, she'd likely end up in a coma. only sheer manliness keeps us able to sit and sniffle and moan that we feel crap
ManFlu is for wusses who feel that the only way to preserve their manliness is to make a big fuss about having a cold and try and drum up sympathy from any women in the area.
Real men don't even notice when they're ill/injured/dead.

The woman equivalent is BirdFlu - That actually kills people.
Manflu is the onset of whinging that usually accompanies the common cold in the male of the Homo sapien species.

LOL! I dont whinge, I just say I'm not feeling well and get on with stuff as best I can. You might find me sleeping somewhere though!
Haha! Ignore tigs, she does not know of the horrors of this disease which only afflicts the males of our species.Originally Posted by Stringent
I'd get yourself checked in at the doctors right away before the Manflu spreads to other manly bits of your person!

Dunno about 'Manflu' but i had REAL flu for the first time ever at the beginning of the month.
Couldnt even move for over a week and never felt so ill in my life.
Quite right! It annoys me when other blokes start moaning about having 'ManFlu', it makes us look bad as a gender and it reduces the amount of sympathy available for real illness...
...Like that. Real flu's horrible!

Yep, REAL flu is a killer. Annoys me when people say I have a touch of the flu. No you don't.
Agreed. If you had REAL flu, you wouldn't be down the pub telling me you had a touch of the flu while sipping on a nice cold pint of strongbow

Generally you don't get "a touch of the flu". You either have it, and know about it... or you have a heavy headcold.Agreed. If you had REAL flu, you wouldn't be down the pub telling me you had a touch of the flu while sipping on a nice cold pint of strongbow
I agree, to be a man you shouldn't feel pain! I had appendicitus for two weeks and never said nothin until i nearly passed out and was given morphine in the hospitalLoved that stuff alot. Funnily enough i go in in a week to get them out

So true
I don't think I've ever had a day off for any cold related illeness, just man up and head to work/uni or out
Plus they only last 3 days for me.
Day 1. Sore throat + head ache .. you can't wuss out here
Day 2. Snot and Less enengy .. blow your nose and eat some decent food .. DONE
Day 3. Less of the above leading to a bit of the old aftermath snot but nothing else.
Manflu.. Do you remember that old Monty Python scetch, with the Aussies and the Rules..
Rules 1, 3, 5, 7 apply

Totally agree on the 'tough of flue' thing (for me its right up there with 'I don't burn I just go brown'). I really don't think that many people have in fact had real flu, I have only ever had it once while I was at school (I was about 14). I had an exam in the afternoon and I had been shivering all morning, I went to my Gran's for my lunch and she wouldn't let me go back. Turns out she had the right idea because I was confined to bed for about 2 weeks doing nothing but shivering my tits off fully clothed and under 3 duvets. Real flu is horrendous.
That being said, if I get a cold or I feel a bit nauseous I will always stay off work, it really does my head in that the reason I am ill is because some idiot decided to 'solider on' and come in ill. If your ill stay at home, do not come into work and infect the entire building (aircon is a wonderful thing..). Do the decent thing and stay at home and get better if your really concerned about productivity, because infecting the entire place is not gonna help.

HEXUS FOLDING TEAM It's EASY
Which one is this? Might have to relocate ...
I read a news story the other day about a study which found that women take 46%
more sick days than men.
