What would a December weekend be without holiday cheer and letters to Santa? Well, this weekend Pete Davidson appeared on Saturday Night Live as “Stu”, a spoof of Eminem’s 2000 hit song “Stan”.

The skit is based on Stu writing letters to Santa about how bad he wants a PS5. Stu becomes a Stan half way through the spoof, rapping, “Dear Santa, I notice you never wrote me a letter back/That’s fine dog, except really I think that’s kind of wack/If you help your biggest fan, then you should just retire/Or next time you slide down my chimney I’ll set your ass on fire.”

Merriam-Webster Dictionary to Include ‘Stan’ Inspired by Eminem’s Song

Leave a comment

Two years ago the Oxford English Dictionary added the word Stan to its collection after being popularized by rapper Eminem in the 2000s by his song of the same name. Now the word will be added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

The people over at Merriam-Webster announced that they added 640 words to their database, including Stan as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, Stan means “an extremely or excessively enthusiastic and devoted fan.” As a verb, it means, “to exhibit fandom to an extreme or excessive degree: to be an extremely devoted and enthusiastic fan of someone or something.”

The definition of the word is clearly tied to Eminem’s song about an obsessed fan who kills his pregnant girlfriend as a response to the Detroit rapper not responding to his fan letters in a timely fashion.

Nineteen years after its release, “Stan,” which appeared on his classic album, Marshall Mathers LP, is one of Em’s most popular song and clearly left an imprint on pop culture.
