In support of argument with Wonko about whether my leeriness about staying up to go to the midnight opening show of Spiderman 2 makes me less of a fangirl, I have created a new word: fanfoo, which means “either fangirl or fanboy as appropriate”. From the computer nonsense syllable “foo”, you see. Comments? Jeers?

“Fanfoo” sounds a lot like “fan-fu”, which could be construed to mean something a little different.
Re: Homonymfoo
But no less tasty. “How well are you versed in the arts of Fan-fu, my son? Oh, you have memorized the witty combacks from all Marvel comics written in the 90’s, which you’re not afraid to use on hampsters and other small vertibrates. The Fan-fu is strong in you.”
Re: Homonymfoo
I kinda thought that was a feature, not a bug.
Alternatively, we could say “fansplat” for “fan*”, but, umm, sounds bad. As does “fanbar” actually…
