" Male bonding - this became a buzzword maybe in the 80s to describe the bond of affection that forms between men when they are doing manly things - friends on a hunting trip, a dad and son tossing a football together, etc. I think the phrase was used seriously at first but now is usually used in a somewhat ironic way - although we still recognize the importance of these kinds of activities. Mary to her friend Sue: So, are you going to drive Jack to summer camp this year?
