The term is used for people who are completely outside of the sf community. ("Don't freak out the mundanes. The hotel won't like it.)
The World Outside Fandom[edit]
(adj.) Pertaining to mundania, the world outside fandom. ("In mundane life, Joe Fann is a stockbroker.")
Unfannish[edit]
(adj.) Unfannish or not fan-like. ("You're skipping the con in order to play baseball? How mundane.")
