Man-case
noun. Body.
He had an handsome man-case, and better it had been empty with weakness, than (as it was) ill-fitted with viciousness.
The church-history of Britain, Thomas Fuller (1655)
Hey there Thomas Fuller, are you eying someone’s man-case? You sly devil, you.
No, it’s not a suitcase that’s just for men (following the man-bag pattern). But man-case means body? For seriouslyness? That sounds all kinds of ostrobogulatory. No matter how you parse it, it’s an odd term. The man is the body so the body is the man-case? Is the body the man or is the man IN the body?
I love man-words but this one is too mangled for my taste. Maybe we should find a new meaning for man-case. Any suggestions? I’m sure you can manage to think of one.

You can certainly see your skills in the paintings you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how they believe. At all times follow your heart.

It’s very simple to find out any topic on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this piece of writing at this website.
