    '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 !

    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!


    Helen
