Thanks Plu. I really do appreciate you removing the AWADtalk stuff.
It is a shame you deleted the rest though...you make intersting points and I would have liked to discuss them.
What I thought when the word came up this morning was this...
Anu didn't include the meaning we have here for mano a mano - one which is specifically masculin. Mano a mano is used to mean "man to man." It is usually used when two guys have to talk about something serious and one of them will say, "let's talk mano a mano."
A good example is a dad having a conversation with his daughter's date right before the prom - a man to man talk about what is an acceptable end ot the evening.
Edit: oops, I forgot to add, it isn't only man to man, it implys that the men are discussion on an honourable level.
