From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is an article for the Manchild comedy series. For the Catholic rapper and frontman of Mars ILL, see manCHILD.
Manchild is a term meaning a man who exudes many child-like qualities, but mainly refers to adult immaturity, and someone who refuses to grow up. A male suffering from 'manchildness' tends to be interested in adolescent pursuits that would most likely bore the adults in his life as they have already progressed on in life.
