Fanboy is a word I have never encountered, so I looked it up. Where do you dig up these gems?

Thanks for the indelible days whence I visited my endearing aunt's hometown, smack middle in Minnesota, and the laughing moment when we arrived calling her nearby, she says, "the white house by the lake", HaHa, --beautiful Kim!
