stanning
- 1Present participle of stan.
Fans have been stanning the new actor since her first film came out.
He spends his evenings stanning a streamer most people have never heard of.
Note
The -ing form doubles the n, as short verbs ending in a single consonant usually do: stan, stanning. It takes an object directly (stanning a band) or works with for (stanning for a band), and it serves just as well as a gerund, naming the activity itself. The verb is slang, and the noun behind it is sometimes derogatory, so the word can carry a hint of mockery.
She has been stanning for that band since high school.
Stanning is practically a full-time hobby for some fans.
