粉丝 (fěn sī) — bean vermicelli; cellophane noodles; fan; enthusiast
Definition
粉丝 has two unrelated senses: thin glassy noodles made from mung-bean starch (粉 alone covers most other starch noodles), and 'fan/enthusiast' (a loanword from English). Don't confuse the food sense with 粉, which is the powder/starch itself.
