n. A character trait resulting from a blend of machismo, non-excessive masculinity, courage, and toughness. Manship represents the good side of manliness; a sort of bravery without braggadocio. Often contracted to "'ship"
The wide receiver showed some serious manship going up to make the catch and holding on to the ball despite taking a hit.
(Above sentence only applies if said receiver doesn't celebrate.)
