Definition
粉丝 (fěn sī) has two distinct meanings: 'cellophane noodles' (a food) and 'fan, enthusiast' (a loanword from English 'fans'). The 'fan' sense is specific to people who follow celebrities, teams, or shows — broader than 球迷 (qiú mí, sports fan only) and more noun-like than 迷 (mí, which is a verb meaning 'to be obsessed with').
