Get the Fammendicate mug.In the early '90s, many actors, politicians and stagehands had their 'Greatest Hit' inserted between their first and last names as a famenthetical, much like a middle name or nickname.
The famenthetical was usually bracketed by parenthesis or quotation marks, and served to 'explain' the cited person to an audience that did not know their name, but might recognize the reference.

Robin (Princess Bride) Wright (or Robin "Buttercup" Wright), Lars (Metallica) Ullrich, Dana (Church Lady) Carvey, or Tom "Swordfishtrombones" Waits, Burl (Burl Slabs) Slabs, and Boonthanachuck "Merv" Boonthanatun are historical examples.
Contemporary figures who often get that extra famenthetical exposition include Rick "oops" Perry, Janet (wardrobe malfunction) Jackson and Joey (of the Ramones) Ramone.

Get the Fagmentous mug.Fangenius is just as it's root words defines.
"fan" for fantastic and "genius" for genius.
It was created as a need to evolve from simply responding "genius" to things said that you like. Genius was simply not enough and the need to express how fantastic something was naturally spawned the evolution.
I coined this phrase back in 1997....
i have heard it uttered loosely from people's lips.
i think it's time to spread how fangenius of a word it actually is.
