man

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'guy' is the definition.
(guy can informally mean a man)

'maiden seen by rest room taking cocaine' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'maiden' could be 'm' (cricket abbreviation) and 'm' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'an' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for man that I've seen before include "-- Friday" , "Male person" , "The most destructive and polluting animal" , "Adult human male" , "Homo sapiens" .)
