man talk
Guys shooting breeze
Man talk is conversation between men, especially on topics stereotypically considered masculine—sports, cars, work, women—or subjects deemed too crude or serious for mixed company.
The phrase often implies either exclusion of women or a shift to blunter speech: The kids went to bed and we got into some real man talk.
Sometimes used dismissively for shallow male bonding.
