They would laugh just as much, I think, if some woman was called "manly-girl".
In any event, I think that's the way it's meant. I know that's not the way it's perceived, and I wish he'd stop using it.
I think the next childish wave will be to yell "Halliburton" or "Bush Lied" whenever more intelligent thoughts stop flowing.
Oh, wait . . .

I always thought it was a Hanz and Franz allusion from SNL. Combo of self-deprecation and teasing of his critics.
That said, I think it's embraced by others for less erudite reasons, and he should stop.
