Fanboy Added To Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Ha-ha! I guess it was inevitable...
From SlashFilm:
- The word “Fanboy” is one of the hundred or so new words that Merriam-Webster has decided to add to their Collegiate Dictionary this year.
Apparently the first occurance of the word was in the year 1919. Who knew? Merriam-Webster ’s definition is: “a boy who is an enthusiastic devotee (as of comics or movies).”
Of course! Although no word on whether "fangirl" will follow eventually! Do I hear any cries of sexism??
