For those who don't know, the word we know as 'stan' originated from Eminem's song of the same title. The song samples Dido's "Thank You" and tells the story of an obsessed fan who makes us all look normal. If you haven't heard the song yet, check it out. One of the many examples why Em is one of the greatest rappers ever. I still get chills when I listen to this song.

I'm so glad you included the real origin of the term. 

I was worried Internet Pop stans were gonna come and try to claim they invented the term.

That it didnt occur to me earlier that the word stan originated from this song. I listened to this a lot in middle school.

Mind blown

Eminem who grew up poor and actually read the dictionary to expand his vocabulary now has a word in the dictionary. 

So happy for this achievement.
