fanalyst

a portmanteau of the words fan and analyst describing a sports columnist or blogger who analyzes sports from the perspective of a fan rather than an insider or traditional sports journalist.
Bill Simmons of ESPN.com is considered the godfather of fanalysts as he was one of the first sports bloggers to write from the perspective of the fan.

The Infinitesimal Analysis

The Infinitesimal Analysis or Method of Limits is very highly developed and is applicable to almost every subject of exact thought, often asserting itself in the most surprising fashion, as in the Theories of Numbers and of Knots, to which it might seem wholly alien, suddenly unlocking and laying wide open secert passaages utterly unsuspected. In particular the Integal Calculus shows itself amazingly and unendingly fertile in the generation of new notions. As other and still other fields are exposed to investigative thought, the Calculus will receive more and more applications, and there seems to be no limit to the subtlety and refinement of its processes, to the keenness and penetration that may be given to this two-edged sword of the spirit, the strongest, sharpest and most flexible ever fashioned or wielded by the mind of man.
Mastering the infinitesimal analysis will lead to great success.

fanalyse

When super-fan of anything who over-analyses or picks apart every minute detail. They often move into prognostication, conspiracies, and personal lives of actors. These people think they sound intelligent or superior, but in reality, are usually pretty lame. Common sources of fanalysists: Lost, Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Books/Graphic Novels, WoW players, Glee, any popular-for-no-good-reason reality show, etc.
If I have to listen to Lara fanalyse Glee one more time, I think I'll have to punch her. Who cares if Kurt is secretly a woman?

shatter analysis

In the manner of bloodstain splatter analysis, shatter analysis attempts to identify the dietary habits of individuals who spray public toilets with explosive diarrhea.
Investigator: "Judging by the consistency and scale of the cone-shaped spray pattern, my shatter analysis tells me our victim was likely lactose intolerant and had either consumed chipotle, Thai food, or barbecue--followed by a large milk shake for dessert."
