1.To Man-Mark, is to use your body, actions and words to purposely impede, confuse and generally sabotage your fellow opponent on the field, during sports play. It s mainly known and used by people in the UK and other countries where soccer/football and/or rugby are popular. However, it is not dissimilar to American basketball players, or hockey players sticking on to certain members of the opposing team, trash talking them, waving their hands and generally being dicks, to distract and/sabotage their intended victim.
This also occurs in social games, like snooker, pool, or darts, when a player hounds another, causing distractions and generally screwing up their chances of successful plays.
2. Man-Marking can also occur during social settings, such as, at a pub, get together, or other social gatherings. for example, a man might linger around his mate, ensuring he doesn't successfully connect with potential dates, or people of importance.

"Hey, excuse me. I see my friend over there by the bar, chatting up some birds. I'm gonna go man-mark the shit outta him! Muahahahahaha."
