Main because it is asking for the odd MAN out.. main minus i = man Coincidence.. I think not. I am the man. Or it could be pain since it is the only really bad thing on there and what is painful to one may be enjoyable to another.

If you remove the "i" you're left with Pan Wan Lon Man and Con. I don't think Lon is a word.
