Hardly what? Are you saying you didn't introduce the term 'fanboy' to
the discussion? Or are you denying the derivation? Are you asserting
that the term 'fanboy' is _not_ derogatory?

If the first or the third, then I don't believe you. If the second,
then perhaps you could explain the derivation.

Why should you think it based on 'nancyboy'? Actually, that's a term I
don't think I've heard since I was a schoolboy.

There are probably loads and loads of 'somethingboy' words or
expressions. I'm sure any intelligent being could come up with a few
were he to sit down with a dictionary, or the internet.

As you seem unable to supply the information requested, I'll try again.

1) Did you mean the term 'fanboy' to be derogatory?
2) Did you make the word up?
3) If so, on what did you base the word?
4) Have you worked out what it actually means?
