A sweeping, exaggerated and often ludicrous sports statement that a fan makes when under the influence of an emotional sports event (and perhaps various substances).

Fanbole (pronounced FAN-buh-lee) - If you see a shortstop make a diving stop and throw out a runner, you might say: "That's the greatest play I have ever seen." That would be a fanbole. It might be the greatest play you ever saw, but it probably isn't. In that moment, it feels that way.
If you see the Kansas City Chiefs give up against the Philadelphia Eagles like they did on Sunday, you might say: "This is the worst football team in the history of the NFL." That too would be a fanbole. The Chiefs are terrible, but they are probably not the worst team in NFL history. Probably not.
You call a player the worst ever, a coach a genius, a general manager an idiot -- these are probably fanboles.

Get the apple fanboys mug.(n) a person who owns a Macbook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, doesn't work in graphic design or something that would justify owning all Apple products, is probably a hipster working on their screenplay, and who believes that somehow, that makes them better than you.
Fanboy: "You use a PC? Oh, this? It's just my Macbook Air. I'm using it to write my memoirs. Macs don't get viruses, you know."
Human: "You're an Apple fanboy, and I'm going to immediately disregard anything you say about technology ever."

Get the halo fanboy mug.A fanboy who is ashamed to be enthusiastic and excited about a product or property because it makes them feel nerdy. Usually they gang up on the fanboys on blogs, reviews, and chat rooms.
