Short for disapproving stan, the ultimate reversal of a stan, a Dan is obsessed with taking someone down, instead of being obsessed in their approval of somebody. A Dan may act very extreme in their dissaproval, or be a simple hater, there are many types of Dans. A Dan is typically more dangerous than a stan, because they hate somebody instead of being a fan of theirs. A Dan is on a whole other level when it comes to being insane, a stan typically would not do anything to harm a person they like, which makes sense, a Dan will actually go out of their way to harass an individual, because of their disliking of them.

DAN = Dumb Ass N****r.

When you develop a depression so deep within you due to being employed at Dan’s that don’t realize you’re depressed until other people point it out. You begin to lash out at self checkout customers for not knowing the store code for bagels and begin sabotaging grocery carts in response. A severe mental disorder, those afflicted should not be approached unless a natural disaster occurs, in which they will begin praying for an apocalypse.
I’ve worked at Dan’s for far too long, I believe I have been infected with Dan’s Depression. Just last week I lashed out at a customer for telling me to have a good day.
