What does the title "Two and a Half Men" mean?

What does the title "Two and a Half Men" mean?

well its two brothers...and the kid
therefore two men and a kid
hence two and a half men

The kid is considered 1/2 of a man. So there's the dad, Uncle Charlie and the kid.

2 men
+
1/2 a man = Two and a half men

in the show its two men and a boy
so two men and a half of a man {which is a child}
right???

It means the two guys (two men) plus the kid (almost a man, therefore half). Two and a half. =)

The show is about two adult men and a kid, who acts more mature than his uncle sometimes so they've dubbed it 2 and a 1/2 men meaning the kid (or sometimes the immature uncle) is the 1/2 part. "Two Men and a Little Boy" would be a more fitting title, but that sounds dirty and just plain wrong. Eww. So the title "men" was used instead.

two men (the two brothers) and a kid (half men)
