    Quoted from TOK:

    None of the poll descriptions nail it for me...
    Its a lame term invented by a crappy cable channel to describe a spot that a sissy-man hangs out and drinks 1 craft brew beer before getting yelled at to do the dishes by his domineering porker of a wife.

    Said it better than I could have. The term annoys me in the same way Home Improvement (or any family sitcom) did. The dad is an idiot animal and the sassy wife is there to set him straight.

    Quoted from PurpleTophat:

    It's a stupid thing to call your game room if you want women around. My woman likes to play games. She likes to drink a few when she plays games. I like it when she drinks a few because she tends to get a bit frisky. Why would I exclude her by calling it a "man cave". Seems a bit latently homo erotic to me. If you need a place to escape your woman to have "solo fun", you need to get yourself a different woman. I suppose you are free to have whatever sausage party you want in your man cave, but I for one will be partying WITH the women in the game room.

    Pinball glass can support a woman laying down. Amirite?
