Affirmation

The word “fanboy” has hit the big-time: it’s made the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary.

fan·boy

Pronunciation: \’fan-,bÓi\
Function: noun

: a boy who is an enthusiastic devotee (as of comics or movies)

FYI, I think the fanboys (and girls) across the nation resent the limitation of the definition to just “a boy.”
