Bond, bonds, bonded, and bonding may refer to:
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either openly or via sabotage.
The earliest recorded use[citation needed] of the term "the Man" in the American sense dates back to a letter written by a young Alexander Hamilton in September 1772, when he was 15. In a letter to his father James Hamilton, published in the Royal Dutch-American Gazette, he described the response of the Dutch governor of St. Croix to a hurricane that raked that island on August 31, 1772. "Our General has issued several very salutary and humane regulations and both in his publick and private measures, has shewn himself the Man." [dubious – discuss] In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.

Plot
Elderly Tom Nickerson recalls how, in 1819, he went to sea as cabin boy on the whaler 'The Essex', leaving Nantucket. Its recently promoted captain George Pollard is a kindly man, unlike first mate Owen Chase and Tom notes their mutual animosity though, inspired by tales from his grandfather, envisages life at sea as romantic. A storm and a food shortage puncture his illusions but spirits are raised when a whale is sighted and caught. However some two months later another whale attacks and sinks the ship - in what Tom believes to be an act of revenge - and the crew take to the long-boats. Chase overrules Pollard in deciding that, rather than risk cannibals on the nearby Society Islands, they make the gruelling 2,000 mile journey to Peru. Ninety days later only five of the crew are rescued, the others either dead or never found. An end-title relates what happened to Tom, Pollard and Chase in later life.

What About The Bond (4: 55)
disharmony gives way
to mute helplessness
not enough communication
too much not expressed
it's all to easy
to let go of hope
to think there's nothing worth saving
and let it all go up in smoke
what about the the bond
(Chorus:)
what about the mystical unity
what about the bond
sealed in the loving presence of the Father
dysfunction
of the institutions
that should give a frame to work in
got to find our own solutions
confusion
pressure from all sides
got to head right down the centre
in the love that will abide
what about the bond
(repeat chorus)
man and woman
made to be one flesh
nobody said it would be easy
but can we let go now and fail the test?
now you could say
life is full of moving on
but do you want the pain that's
already been spent
to all be wasted -- c'mon
what about the bond
(repeat chorus)
(Ottawa, March 28th, 1980)
(M. Doughty w/808 State)
The trouble is
a single atom
shot at random
random fire
two particles
fused and coupled
once united
multiply
the waves run
underground
electric power
copper wire
some tiny evil
bursts the surface
lays quiet like
insecticide
Slanted, the eyes
and this bonds mind to mind
the risk is mine
and this bonds mind to mind
She says a word
across the ocean
I hear the spit
I hear the sigh
the wavelength
undivided
to drain the fruit
and leave the rind
the shot runs
through her wiring
through her curve
through her spine
to feel an impulse
rising rising
a mess of reason
The winter sun
The winter sun
The winter sun
I have seen moon and blossoms
Now I go
To view the last and loveliest
The snow
A frozen dream
A heart undone
Forever burning
Under the winter sun
So touch
Come closer
So touch
Come closer
The fire between us
Kiss you
And touch you
I want you
So touch
Thinking of you
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah, boy!
Check it out Slick, ya know what I'm sayin?
No complaining
I reached my destination and its raining
I'm in Columbia, the Bond steps off the plane and
I hear a hollar from a bro with ring around the collar
Its chief of police, grease Bond, tell me to follow
Treated me to everything, no taxin, maxin
Gives me a hotel suite for me to relax in
Seems everyone was in my silk drawers
A cloud does it have to bug me a daffy nerve
Jumpin out the closet, word up, dead nigga
Said ";Chief how do you figure tryin to arrest me, the Double for the
murder of the nigga?";
Now in a cell, but not for long, and now I'm out, I hear a weeping
One asleep, other sleep, kept creeping
Bumped into another, my appearance was alarming
(To who) some lady that thought I'm charming
Please, the way I is I don't even have to say hon,
So who's a Don?
You better believe the nigga keeps girls fond,
The name's Bond!
Well, I'm outside and its the chief with twenty thiefs like the brainiac
Aware because the Double 0 was bucking like a maniac
Till nobody lives, so hon, nowhere to do correct
Said ";excuse me baby, but where they hiding the hooker at?";
";Around the block, but chill at least chill till the storm has stopped";
Decided it was a helicopter, sounds like its warming up
Grabbed ya leg, shot the chief, someone said ";Stop hawking";
Shook me off at twenty-thou, the Bond got up walking
They was laughing as they left they grew thinner like Iraqi,
Got the plans from the dying chief of police in her pocket
To make it even worse honey girl was definetly rattin
Was holding her in a club that was happening in Manhattan
I'm on the plane in the day seemed nothing was a phasing,
Except for the stewardess jocking the Amazing,
But kept my composure, had another honey hon,
Who the Don?
Better believe the nigga keep girls fond,
The name's Bond!
Back at home in New York, I didn't want to get too overfly
You wanna know why I pulled out my 535i? (pimp!)
Boy I see some lookouts with some girls that's annoyed
It was a private engagement for the dealer and the boys
Double just passed the hoods with their faces painted
Walked in, say a good twent girls fainted
Throw cousins all out but seems that everyone was shitting,
And man I was so cool I even carried me a kitten (reowr!)
Trouble for the Double 0? Wouldn't swallow that
Who's the man with the Golden Guuuuun and all of that
Turned curls of mercy, left blood on the walls of
Rescued the shorty who was all on the walls of
Whore said ";You're late!"; I don't wanna hear none of your dissing
Nabbed the cash, made a good twenty million on the mission
Good job, not to mention had the balls honey hung
So who's a Don?
Better believe the nigga keeps girls fond
The name's Bond!
