An alternative form of "man".
Maybe it was originally a contraction of "man" and "is", as in "my man's doing xyz". But then ig some people skipped using the word "is" (like if you were to say "this shit cold" instead of "this shit is cold"), which made it seem like "mans" was just another word for "man". So now "mans" can be used to replace "man" even when it doesn't necessarily make sense to do so; idk tho ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
A: the acrobat was so great
B: mans could've hit his head more than 3 times, let's be honest
Mans is a litte kids way of saying a plural for the word man
