coz if so it doesn't seem to be used right. People just apply it to anyone defending a particular person or point of view, but Stan wasn't even necessarily defensive of Slim, he was more like obsessed with him and upset that Slim didn't respond to his letters

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Sometimes the inspiration for slang doesn't make complete since with how it ends up being used.

I never understood why people say stan. Assumed it was some new Gen Z thing

Some ppl think it's a play on "stalker" and "fan" but it really only comes from the dude in the song just being named Stan.

I can't see the name Stan without thinking about it in Randy Marsh's voice, like when he's acting sickly and asking Stan to get him more beer in the bloody Mary episode or when he's calling out for Stan incoherently in the blockbuster shining parody episode, like "Staaahhn!"

Stan is a super fan that's unreasonable. Basically.
