Man-Cho.... It's So Hot Right Now

Thank you, Lion Brand, for creating a term that once again makes me question the santity of your creative team. Yes, I am talking about the Man-cho. As in, a poncho for a man. Now, I by no means want to start a flame war about the legitimacy of the garment traditionally known as a 'poncho', because there are some variations that I do like and find use for (chilly cars in the morning, etc). I am also not implying that a gentleman shouldn't be wearing a poncho man-cho knitted/crocheted garment that covers the shoulders, But why coin a term that threatens the validity of an already fragile concept. Why didn't the term Wom-arf stick? Because we do not need gender-specific terms to identify accesories. I see the same backlash as the 'man-bag', made famous on that episode of Friends.

This dude looks like he means business. Don't mess with my Man-cho, BITCH! It's so hot right now.
