Why do Black people say "grown man" so often?

[columbiasneaks]

 

[prettyplaya]

I have no problem but I'm just wondering what's behind it...

i know it's not a slang term nor some sort of ebnonics.

I hear them say grown man so often...any thoughts?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

I think Jay Z started it.

it's stating a time when you get out of your "ghetto" persona and into your older more mature self.

 

[ridingonlorenzos]

its dumb as hell

Can it be argued that when someone says "grown man" they're really not grown at all? I think if one were truly grown, people would be able totell without you having to state it.

i think OP means more like

"im finna cop me that cardigan and get my grown man on"

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

Its used for sex also. About to do the grown man. i think. hhaha

 

[redrum sb]

"I'm bout to get my grown man on"

I found that this phrase is most frequently used when a hood kid/guy dresses up (suit, tie, slacks).
Most of the time it has nothing to do with their mentality, just their style/steez.

 

[imsojayded]

they tired of hearing 'boy' from the white man....

THIS

"Grown man" and "black boy/white boy" are overused.

everybody says it nowadays

i dont have a problem with it whatsoever..

im starting to hear people say "whats really better though?"..instead of "whats good"

 

[lex dlamonds]

"im finna cop me that cardigan and get my mature adult grown man on"

Because it's waaaaay cooler than saying "mature adult".

"I'm a grown *** man" > "I'm a mature adult"
