Being a Nerd/Fangirl/Booknut/Awesome Person - A Glossary

This is for all of you who have ever wondered about some of the terms that people use, mostly bloggers on Tumblr. I'm here to help explain. Let's begin.

OTP
OTP is an acronym standing for "One True Pairing". This is a pairing so perfect in your mind that they are the only one that could ever be.

Ship
When you "ship" something, you are shipping two people together in a relationship. Most like to combine the names of the people they are shipping, like for Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase there is "Percabeth". People also ship "bromances" (see paragraph 4 for details), like John Watson and Sherlock Holmes (Johnlock).

Bromance
Brother + Romance = Bromance
Basically it is two male friends who you love so much as friends, like they are not complete without the other for friendship.

Feels
It is what it looks like. Feels are what you have when you feel so deeply for characters, but it is like the strongest emotion a fangirl can have. There is also "overload of feels". If someone says that they have an overload of feels, it may be time to call up your local mental institution.

I can't
The feels (see paragraph 5) are apparently so much for you that you just can NOT take it anymore. You are emotionally overloaded and have decided to disconnect yourself until you can calm down.

I'm so done
This phrase can have a few different meanings. It may mean that the other fans in the fandom are being irritating or not showing the rest of the fandom in a good light, or you're just plain annoyed about something. It can also mean that you are just done with whatever is occurring. Maybe the season finale just broke your heart and you're so done with how it makes you feel but, alas, it is too late. You are hooked.

Fandom
Pretty simple. Fan kingdom = fandom. It is a group of human beings (normally) that are all fans of the same thing. A fandom includes the fans who have been there from the start and those who have just joined.

Fangirl/Fanboy
Does this really need to be explained?

Dying
Okay, well, duh, we're not actually dying. But the feels have become too much to the point of where we're practically dead on the floor. Fangirls tend to die 50 to 100 times a day. It is a serious issue.

Superwholock
Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock all wrapped up together. Superwholock rules Tumblr.

ashsahatlkabteha *many alternative spellings
This is when it looks like they just threw their cat onto the keyboard and let nature take its course. This person can not express all of the feelings inside of them in words so they do so in gibberish. It is quite effective to release some of the pent up emotion, I can tell you.

GIF
This isn't so much a definition as a pronunciation guide. It is a huge debate as to whether GIF is pronounced "jif" like the peanut butter or "gif" like how you sound when you say gift really fast. It has been confirmed that it is correct EITHER. WAY.

Fanfiction (fanfic for short)
A written work that is based off of a book/movie/tv show written by a fan of the thing.

Canon
This word pops up around fanfictions. Canon is what was actually in the book/movie/tv show, not what was created by the author of the fanfiction.

DON'T TOUCH ME I'M IN A FRAGILE STATE RIGHT NOW!
See "ashsahatlkabteha", "I can't", and "dying" for definition. Although they are dead serious when they say not to touch them. If you try to touch them they will go after you with Glamdring and carve your heart out and feed it to the Minotaur.
You think I'm kidding?
Fine. Go touch that girl who just watched Reichenbach Fall.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

I didn't sign up for this!
I have used this one before. The person in question thought that they were just casually watching a show or reading a book and suddenly, the author/writer/whatever turns the whole thing upside down and you're now so emotionally invested and cry yourself to sleep every night. You didn't sign up for this emotional rollercoaster, but now you can't leave.

O.O

So there you go. Those are some rough definitions of the words fandom members use on the internet, mostly on Tumblr. I don't have a tumblr account, but I do search things occasionally and was a bit confused about the lingo, so I did some research on urban dictionary and here we are.

Please comment as to what I should do next because I have no earthly idea.
Cheers and have a wonderful week.
