man. a human being. this definition includes not only the adult male sex of 
the human species, but women and children; examples: "of offences against 
man, some are more immediately against the king, other's more immediately 
against the subject." hawk. p. c. book 1, c. 2, s. 1. offences against the 
life of man come  under the general name of homicide, which in our law 
signifies the killing of a man by a man." id. book 1, c. 8, s. 2. 
     2. in a more confined sense, man means a person of the male sex; and 
sometimes it signifies a male of the human species above the age of puberty. 
vide rape. it was considered in the civil or roman law, that although man 
and person are synonymous in grammar, they had a different acceptation in 
law; all persons were men, but all men, for example, slaves, were not 
persons, but things. vide barr. on the stat. 216, note. 

[11] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

man, n.  an animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he
thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be.  his
chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own
species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to
infest the whole habitable earh and canada.

    when the world was young and man was new,
        and everything was pleasant,
    distinctions nature never drew
        'mongst kings and priest and peasant.
        we're not that way at present,
    save here in this republic, where
        we have that old regime,
    for all are kings, however bare
        their backs, howe'er extreme
    their hunger.  and, indeed, each has a voice
    to accept the tyrant of his party's choice.

    a citizen who would not vote,
        and, therefore, was detested,
    was one day with a tarry coat
        with feathers backed and breasted
        by patriots invested.
    "it is your duty," cried the crowd,
        "your ballot true to cast
    for the man o' your choice."  he humbly bowed,
        and explained his wicked past:
    "that's what i very gladly would have done,
    dear patriots, but he has never run."
