Well how timely…

17 years after Eminem dropped arguably one of his best songs ever “Stan”, the Oxford English Dictionary has officially added the word to their dictionary.

If you remember the song was about a crazed fan named Stan who wrote Eminem letters and eventually took his obsession too far.

The OED now recognizes “Stan” as a noun meaning “an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity,” as well as a verb meaning to “be an overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity”.

I have no idea why they waited 17 years to do this hahah.
