[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A fairly self-explanatory trope]] which hinges on the lauding of vulgarity, poor hygiene and boorishness as the epitome of masculinity. Works that use this trope proudly revel in uncouth stereotypes of adult men as being poorly mannered, lazy, obnoxious, drunken, gluttonous, filthy, and... well... slobs.

* Jayne Cobb from ''{{Firefly}}'', who can be remarkably irritating in his superficiality about such things. He is the only one aboard who claims that the doctor is unmanly because he is a dandy. The others(including Mal and Book who would be very good judges on that score)all respect the doctor's courage even when irritated at him.
