All thanks to Eminem, ‘Stan’ has been added to the dictionary

Just like when Beyonce‘s ‘Bootylicious’ was added to the dictionary, Oxford on June 1 formally added Eminem‘s ‘Stan’ to the dictionary.

‘Stan’ comes from the award-winning rapper’s 2000 song of the same title which featured Dido.

That said, the word had already been in use; majorly among Eminem fans who referred to themselves as Stans.

As a noun, ‘Stan’ is ‘An overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity,’ while as a verb, it is to ‘be an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.’
