Super Stan

Product Information

While it’s often believed that “stan” is simply a portmanteau of “stalker” and “fan,” any true “Stan” stan would tell you that its etymology is a bit more nuanced. Here’s everything you need to know about the slang term and how its use has evolved over the years. Where Does "Stan" Come From?

Our pupils LOVED the fun and exciting comic-book theme. Such a clever story and hysterically funny from start to end. Everyone had their moment to shine and performed with enthusiasm thanks to the hilarious script and catchy songs. The real Superhero has to be Craig Hawes for writing another epic show which our pupils and their parents will never forget!"My favourite recent cameo of his was from the Spider-Man game that came out a few months ago. You tend to expect cameos in all Marvel movies but for some reason the cameo in the game took me by surprise. Even though it was an animated version rather than his actual likeness, it captured all his charm and I was grinning like an idiot when i saw it. Turns out it’ll be the last one released before his death. Fitting that it was Spider-Man. RIP Stan. dsk84 ‘A huge escapist part of my otherwise anxious and sometimes fear-driven childhood’ N.B.

Character Name While the original meaning based on Eminem's song and the way the name coincidentally works as a combination of ‘stalker’ and ‘fan’ is extremely harsh, many people we would think of today as ‘stans’ are just super devoted to their favorite artist or celebrity and particularly vocal about it on social media,” says Arianna Jeret, deputy editor at Your Tango, who also wrote a deep dive into the usage of “stan.” Wow, what can I say? Simply the best children's musical I've produced. It's full of non-stop lively fun and action, every song is fantastic (the teachers were singing and dancing in the staffroom), the script is pure genius and had the children and adults in stitches. Our audience loved every moment, a standing ovation each night!"

Sampling Dido’s “Thank You” in its chorus, the song is something of reverse-fan-fiction — as Eminem weaves a twisted narrative about an imagined fan named Stan who kills his pregnant girlfriend and then himself after Eminem refuses to answer his letters. As for the choice of Stan’s name, it’s never been confirmed that Eminem meant for “Stan” to break out into “stalker” and “fan.” It all starts with rapper Eminem. As proven by his world record for using the largest number of unique words out of any recording artist (including multiple words that he’s successfully rhymed with “orange”), he has a pretty extensive vocabulary. And that includes some words that the artist has incidentally coined himself — including “stan.”
