First Guy’s Guy



Hello,

What does First Guy's Guy mean? The text is about President Obama's female supporters who feel left out due to Obama's interest in "male" activities like basketball.

"Mr. Obama, after all, is an unabashed First Guy’s Guy. Since being elected, he has demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of college basketball, indulged a craving for weekend golf, expressed a preference for adopting a “big rambunctious dog” over a “girlie dog” and hoisted beer in a peacemaking effort."


  

Top answer

A guy's guy is a man noted or admired for traditionally masculine interests and activities, that is, an ordinary man with the typical interests of an ordinary man. When the guy's guy is the president, the expression adds First, indicating the presidency, and the entire expression acquires capital letters: First Guy's Guy. All this is done in fun, of course, there not being any real title "First Guy's Guy".
