| − | Someone who doesn't read or feel any particular attraction to [[science fiction]] but who enjoys the company of [[fans]] and [[fandom]]'s social order and whose company is enjoyed by [[fans]]. If used to describe someone who is a [[fan]] in the traditional sense, it's a pejorative, and some overly serious stuffed shirts use it as a pejorative all the time, but otherwise it is used as a synonym for a "[[fannish]] type" of person, which is (or should be) regarded as an intended compliment.
