A young man of the streets, in a tracksuit and a man-bag, speaking MLE — the roadman — as a real type and, from 2018, an internet character, imitated in 'roadman Shakespeare' and 'roadman explains' videos. The record's entry for the figure, and for the impression that everyone in Britain can do.
The record spells it one way; the original post spelled it another. I would keep the original, typo and all. The typo is the provenance.
You were there or you weren't. I remember the first week of Roadman — 2010, roughly — and the specific feeling that everyone had agreed on a joke overnight without a meeting.
The record notes 'roadman' is now a costume, that 'roadman Harry Potter' exists, and that the actual roadmen have opinions about this that the record has not asked for.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
