Pantyfan

[lettered]

pantyfan

:
a fan who wets his/her panties over the person or persons after which they fan. (Not a derogatory term.)

1. "omg omg omg i love you omg omg i want to have your babies omg," the pantyfan said.
2. noun: David Boreanaz has many pantyfans.
verb: Lots of people pantyfan Spike.

I personally believe this term is actually more useful than "fangirl" and "fanboy", because it's all gender inclusive, and because the word itself shows the craziness of the obsession. The origin of the term can be found in this podcast, if you listen to minutes 3.12 through 8.34. Just because she's my best friend in the whole world doesn't mean she doesn't get a good idea from time to time.

There are subdivisions of the word, as described in the podcast:
bloomer fan, cotton pantyfan, boxers fan, thong fan

Pantyfan, illustrated, totally stealable and without credit, because no one cares, as long as you teach a penguin to say pantyfan:
Pimp, Señora.

OMG! Perfect. Love it. I am snagging me some ruffled panties, just so you know.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

YAY! This word REALLY needs to get out there.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Ha! That's a great term, and a great idea for icons. I'm going to snurch some, yis.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I know! I love it! Take all you want! My BFF will love me forever for being a big pimp!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

I took this one, and changed the text an eensy bit to make it more visible. If anyone wants to use this version, definitely feel free!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think this is the first time she ever made icons. That looks GREAT!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. And I want my ass to look like Pantyfan #1. *leg lifts for a million years*

Can I use it in quotes? I "pantyfan" Connor.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

In my head, your ass IS number one.

Heh--um, no really, heh?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heee! It's getting there... I'm southern, so the hips are rounder. :D

I pantyfan you.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I like hips. Faith, Inara, and Gwen sometimes hurt me with their lack.

Did you notice how I said your ass was in my head?

I wuv you, Stoney.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, FAITH. She was almost perfect. Boyhips on that one. Now CORDELIA. Good fucking god, that woman's body. *exercises some more*

And I'm all for you imagining my ass as a thing of beauty. ALL. FOR. *bats at you, kitten-like*

CC is hot.

Except when they chop of her gorgeous hair and dye it and do weird things with her make-up and eyebrows. Someone Delilah'ed her good.

[samsom.livejournal.com]

Taking!

Great idea!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad! You rock!

[redbrickrose.livejournal.com]

Heh, I like it! That's certainly descriptive, definitely indicative of the depth and nature of the obsession. *g*

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is all instigated by my RL bestfriend music fan. Who's fan enough to be a pantyfan, but doesn't even know the word "fangirl" as it is generally used in fandom. Weird.

[lynnenne]

Heeeeeeeee! That is PERFECT.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

It is.

And your icon is fucking scare, man.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I meant, scare-eeeee!

[lynnenne]

Isn't it, though? It's the perfect example of how someone can go pantyfan over JM.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

It's a perfect example of how to make my eyes bleed and get blood all over me so that I have to go take a shower and *still* hear *bow chica wow wow* in my head and then when I look down at myself naked I feel ashamed and have to get dressed again and come back and reply to your comment and then SEE IT AGAIN.

[femmenerd.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha! I'm totally a panty!fan. Remember this post, which inspired the icon that I'm using?

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yes! I was thinking "pantyfan" through that whole post! I think partly I just like the word panty and panties.

[semby.livejournal.com]

HEE! Awesome. Just awesome.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

YAY! I hope you use the word!

[ely-jan.livejournal.com]

*pantyfans you and your friend* The picspam just posted - in honor of this post. So much more fitting than fangirl or fanboy!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I love your pic spam! More people should wear cartoon undies. *pantyfans you back*

[ely-jan.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Underroos for grown-ups! Completely agree! Glad you liked it!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

There's always room for panties.

(Would you still love me if I confess I call them undies? I've never said panties in my life.)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I love the word panties. The funny thing is, I rarely use that word. Because to me it is very intimate, and also kind of funny. Which is why I love the word. I almost always say "underwear". I think undies is funny, too.

Doesn't mean the word "pantyfan" isn't the bestest.
