What's on your mug?

Someone whom does one or more of the following: 1) Has an obsession of a certain object, thing, or fad. (Dragonball Z, Baseball, Video game consoles, Yo-yos. 2) One that does not think that his obsession or hobby (if they didn't fit the first one) will make him any real friends or perhaps get him laid. 3) One that defends that obsession beyond all hope and logic. Also, one that cannot back up their statement with anything but flame bait. 4) One that takes his obsession beyond comprehensible levels of sanity. Lets use all four in context: (Note: I am not a nintendo fanboy or a bush hater. These are hypothetical situations one might observe these things happening)

1)Fanboy: So, did you see the episode of Xena:Warrior Princess last night? OMG, Lucy's using the Hermina Blade! I've only read that in the novels! 2)Fanboy:Dude, Sailor Uranus is so freaking hot! Other guy: Dude, get the hell away from me. 3) (Two examples) Guy 1: Well, the gamecube hasn't been doing so well this year.... Fanboy: ZOMG! DID YOU JUST SAY THAT THE GAMECUBE SUCKS?!?!?! YOU SUCK! YOU AND YOUR SONY FANBOYS CAN ALL BURN IN EVERLASTING HELL ALONG WITH GATE'S X-BOX!!!!! Ex2: Guy1: Hmm....the president has been doing a lot towards the economic situation.... Guy2: Yeah! Bush sucks balls! Guy1: I didn't say that... Guy2: Bush is a stupid idiot. Guy1: You fanboys should be shot. 4)Fanboy: And you can obviously see that Rikku in FFX-2 is obviously not wearing much in this scene. The humidity from the sun and the build up in the room must be from that. Yeah....also.... (goes on for half a year...)

A passionate fan of cult entertainment, especially comic books and science fiction. Often pedantic.

We started talking about Marvel Comics and I let loose the fanboy in me. "Han. Shoots. First." said the fanboy

Biased people who think that the things they worship about are the masters of the universe. However, since they are biased, they will constantly bash opposing things instead of thinking about it and stating its positive and negative attributes.

Others say XBOX is the best for its graphics and games. Well, not really. PS2 and Gamecube has some more interesting games. And what makes a game a game is that it is fun to play with, not what it looks like.

To similar effect as fangirl A fanboy is any male who has exceptional bias to any form of pop culture who believes it's the best person or thing that has ever existed. It becomes the only thing they talk about and becomes a focal point in their lives. Many fanboys embody their egos upon their fandom and take any form criticism towards it as though it was a blow to their own ego. To this effect they sometimes become hostile towards the person who made the criticism as if that person had directly insulted them. Most common examples of things that have fanboys: -Video games -Animation -Movies -Music -TV shows -Books -Celebrities Religious people have a similar one minded dedication to their religion as fan boys do to their preferred person or thing.

The fanboy became furious when someone in the chatroom mentioned thier dislike for Hello Kitty.

A gamer who maintains loyalty to one system no matter what. Video game system FanBoys hate systems that are not their own. FanBoys are annoying and refuse to conceed to valid points made in defence of other consoles, and talk about their console of choice as if it is the only logical choice. AKA Eric

'My friend, Eric, goes by the alias 'Nintendofreak' and insists that the world would end without Nintendo. What a fanboy. He needs to just simmer and realise that there are games on other systems worth playing, regardless of what circuit board or buttons are running it.'
