A social party with men and/or male-related activities. Although some people propose that it be only an all-male gathering, some ManDates do include women, and the ManDate just signifies the partaking of male-oriented activites. Urban Dictionary

ManDate: Two, and only two straight single men (with great anxiety about the absence of love and women)---acquaintances but not great friends otherwise---meeting to talk, eat, smoke and drink. Each being extremely concerned about the satisfaction and enjoyment of the other on that day and munificent in spending, with a strong hint of enacting the rituals of lovers spending time together. Urban Dictionary

Mandation (noun). Palinese for mandate. First used by Former Governer Sarah Palin during her criticism of President Obama’s State of The Union address on January 27, 2010. This is also the first use of the Palin transform whereas a noun that shares the same form as the verb is converted into another noun. For example, the activity of applying a ‘mandate’ (noun) is ‘to mandate’ (verb). The Palin transform converts mandate (noun) into another noun called mandation. Urban Dictionary

A suggested invite to be followed on a whim. Urban Dictionary
