Never heard that at all

Its very common with young people on twitter.

I don’t go on Twitter but never heard any young people use it in real life

What on earth are you on about?

If it helps, Stan is a portmanteau word of Stalker and fan.
Hence the ‘song’ by Eminem
Is this relevant OP?

Never heard of it !!!

No,me neither!

My dog is called Stan, I am his biggest fan, so I guess I stan Stan! tbh I have never heard of it before, clearly need to get on twitter (or not).

Another one who has never heard of it: must be getting old and out of touch.

You don’t see it on Twitter, it’s all over TikTok where da yoof hang out

Foxie, your Stan is a cutie! We have a similar piggie for our dog, and it is the noisiest toy ever.

As in “I cannot stand this weather “ ? “ I cannot bear this weather” ? Just wondering …

❤️ your Stan!

My best friend's husband was called Stan.
There are some strange words around these days.

My Dad was Stan, I’ve never heard it used as such as described.

Yes, it’s pretty common on social media (like Twitter or TikTok, not Facebook where the oldies hang out!). It’s just a way of showing your enthusiasm for something.

No, quite a different invented meaning. Slang.

I thought it meant country/ land. eg Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Pakistan etc.

I had to google it too Sharon103. I do use Twitter occasionally, but have never come across the word.

The song "Stan," was about a violent and obsessed fan of Eminem, called Stanley "Stan" Mitchell. After getting no replies to his fan letters he becomes threatening and suicidal.

It's used as a noun and Stan Culture was and still is thought of as dangerous and toxic.

Fortunately, stan seems to have been toned down now when used as a verb. It is to show that you really like someone or devoted to them.

Stan by your man! ?

Don't think I'll bother with stan.
Stan the dog is gorgeous however.

This is spooky! This afternoon in Asda they were playing 'Thank you' the song by Dido, which Eminem sampled for 'Stan'. All the way home and for most of the afternoon 'Stan' was my constant earworm! I had just got rid of it and now its back!!! I've not heard or thought of this song for years and the first thread I read tonight was this one! Anyone any advice on getting rid of earworms?
