A Christian ( pronunciation ) is a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. "Christian" derives from the Koine Greek word Christós (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mashiach.
There are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict. However, "Whatever else they might disagree about, Christians are at least united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance." The term "Christian" is also used adjectivally to describe anything associated with Christianity, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It is also used as a label to identify people who associate with the cultural aspects of Christianity, irrespective of personal religious beliefs or practices.
According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. By 2050, the Christian population is expected to exceed 3 billion. According to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey Christianity will remain the world's largest religion in 2050, if current trends continue.
"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 passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
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.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

ich bin genauso wie ich heiße: mein Name ist Schwein,
ich bin geil und gemein genauso wie du,
nur dass ich mache was ich sage und ich gebe es zu,
ich fahr’n dicken Mercedes, „Hallo da, wie geht es?“,
eingepackt in Lagerfeld ist die Welt die mir gefällt,
wie aus dem Katalog bestellt, bevor das Datum verfällt,
hab’ ich dich schnell mal abgezockt und um die Kohle geprellt.
Refrain:
Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein,
Es ist geil so richtig dreckig und gemein,
wenn du ein Schwein bist, gehört dir alles allein,
Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein,
Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein,
Es ist geil so richtig dreckig und gemein,
wenn du ein Schwein bist, gehört dir alles allein,
Es ist geil ein Arschloch zu sein.
One more time, check it out!
Meine Freundin hat ein wirklich gutes Elternhaus,
denn für mich sprang bei der Hochzeit ein Adelstitel raus,
und gibt es ein Problem, dann wird es weggekauft,
denn die Party und’ne American Express hab’ ich auch,
und so kam ich nach oben in die schöne Welt,
in der man viel verspricht, aber wenig hält,
und die Moral, egal wen interessiert das schon?
Denn Undank weiß ja jeder ist der Weltenlohn.
Refrain
OK und noch einmal!
Ich bin die zehn auf einer Skala von eins bis acht,
ich mache Dinge die hast du dir noch nicht mal gedacht,
Mann, für jeden deiner Schritte, da gehe ich zwei,
ich zieh’ an deinem kleinen Scheißleben locker vorbei,
ich fühl’ mich gut, wenn andere sagen ich bin arrogant,
denn was ich will und erreiche das geht Hand in Hand,
es gibt nur einen wie mich und es ist schön, dass es mich gibt,
ich bin wie all die anderen auch nur in mich verliebt.
