Stan Twitter

The fan side of Twitter — the pop girls, the K-pop groups, the charts, the wars — with its own vocabulary, most of which is now everyone's: 'ate', 'mother', 'flop', 'reheating nachos'. The record's entry for the community that coined more of this dictionary than any other.

The record notes that stan Twitter's slang is drag slang, which is ballroom slang, which is Black and queer slang, and that the record files the lineage wherever it can find it.

Correction @caps_lock_carl · Poster 25 Sep 2021

The record spells it one way; the original post spelled it another. I would keep the original, typo and all. The typo is the provenance.

Live specimen. A brand account used Stan Twitter in a reply to a customer complaint. The complaint was about a delivery. The customer did not reply.
