Man-Child

A term originating from Claude Brown's 1965 memoir "Man-Child in the Promised Land" about growing up in the streets of 1940s and 50s Harlem, NYC, one of the earliest and most powerful accounts of ghetto life and its culture.

Example:
“Hey man what is a man child”
“Go watch Erobb221, Lime”
