aramahosiWhat does 'man' (shown in red) mean?
Nothing in itself. "Aw, man!" is as meaningless as "Aw, geez!" and both convey the same feeling, but not a meaning as such. The feeling for the speaker is that of not having things go his way, of being inconvenienced by circumstances, of being beset by troubles.
