Hi GymBrain,

'You're the man!' or 'You're the woman!' is a way of congratulating someone. It's the same as saying 'well done!', 'congratulations!' or 'you're excellent!'.

I hope that helps!

'You're the man!' or 'You're the woman!', yes of course... and 'We are the people that rule the world.' (Empire of The Sun). I'm sure it doesn't help, but never mind !
