WHEN IT HITS THE FAN

Medium Lovers Need a Cool Fan Name

Happy Mediums?

HELLO MEDIUMCAKES!

Nothing is or ever will be as awesome as the name some Barry Manilow fans have fashioned. They call themselves Fanilows. This self-designation encompasses both radical admiration and uncomplicated love. Oh, Mandy. You came and you gave without taking.

I hereby throw down the gauntlet! What is a gauntlet anyway? The word has conjured a picture of jousting in my mind...but I’m also seeing a photobombing pastry chef in the background. Glove love in medieval times? Or potholder glove for cupcake wars?

⚡️ I challenge all the Medium hilarity makers to come up with the perfect way 🎯 to refer to the mortals among us who luuurrrve Medium as much as a Fanilow luuurrrves going to the Copa, Copa Cabaaaaaaannnnaaaaaa . . .

Here’s what I have thought of and discarded so far:

  • Medium Rarers
  • Mediumatics
  • Mediumkins
  • Mediumsketeers
  • Mediumables
  • Mediumishers

🙏 PUT YOUR MEDIUM FAN NOMENCLATURE PROPOSALS IN THE COMMENTS, PLEASE!

[Or feel free to take my request and run with it — and if you’re feeling particularly magnanimpish (autocorrect! leaving it!) put the link to this story somewhere in your story.]
