Fun info from the comic book legend John Byrne's site FAQ. Did JB coin the phrase "fanboy"? JB: The earliest use of the word "fanboy" of which I am aware was in the "Obligatory New Pages" of Jim Engle and Chuck Fiala's FANDOM CONFIDENTIAL collection (from the pages of "The Comic Reader".) In a scene in which Jim and Chuck collapse into paroxysms of mindless adoration because they have been in the room with me for more than five minutes, Jim had me refer to them as "a couple of fanboys in bondage".
This was a reference to/play on a Monty Python skit in which an Elizabethan character is scene reading "Gayboys in Bondage" which she claims is by William Shakespeare. (4/18/2005)

A person which, despite given multiple facts to the opposite of which they believe, will always argue that a certain console is better than another. They seem to be incapable of understanding that this is up to opinion.
Jake is such fanboy, all he ever talks about is the XBox One, and when I tried to give him evidence why PS4 is better, he just denied it.

A term used by losers of an argument when they have no valid option other than to try and discredit and dismiss their detractors through personal attacks. See Nazi, Racist, etc.
Joe couldn't defend the trash he posted so he called the people that destroyed his lies fanboys hoping that their statements would be ignored and his lies would be believed

It's a disparaging term used by the intelligent people to refer t any guy who calls himself creative and is crazy about Apple products and always buys Apple products even when better products are out there.
"Look this thing is massive, bigger screen, higher speed with 4G." "Nah I am gonna buy iPhone 4S instead, I am creative." "oh you are a fanboy. boo!!"
