In an article about the new coalition government in the UK, The Economist notes that Cameron and Clegg (and is it just me or do they look bizarrely alike?) will have their "man-management skills" tested.
Man-management? It was odd to come across a word in a mainstream political/economic magazine that both is sexist and seems less familiar and more awkward than its non-sexist synonym (person management). Actually, it was so unfamiliar that it felt made up, but apparently it is (or has been) a commonly used term, if the high google count is anything to go by.
Oh well, if those guys need to increase their man-management skills, it's nice to know that UT Austin offers a series of graduate classes labeled "MAN management courses."

And DAN Danish courses (but not SALLY Danish).
And M E Mechanical Engineering (not Y O U Mechanical Engineering).
Aw, but I love Danish - especially the cheese Danish.
Mmm. Cheese Danish.
