megafan

Where it comes from

From mega- + fan.

noun megafans

A very large mass of clastic sediment deposited by a laterally mobile river system that fans out from the outlet from a large mountainous drainage network. The dynamics of river systems in megafan environments may strongly influence the fragmentation and reconnection of riverine habitats, and therefore by implication, the diversification and distribution of freshwater organisms.
informal An obsessively enthusiastic fan. Nathan Kaufman, 25, another Radiohead megafan, said of the plan, “I got geeked about it immediately.”
Similar: stan, superfan, trufan, uberfan
