Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez, commonly nicknamed A-Rod, is a Dominican-American baseball player for the New York Yankees. He has often been cited as the best all-around player currently in baseball, but not in the post season, when it counts.

A-Rod started out the 2007 season and became the ninth major leaguer, and first Yankee, to hit six homers in his first seven games of the season.

In the 2006 A.L. Division series, A-Rod showed why he is called "Mr. April." There is no doubt that A-Rod came up lame again in the post-season, hitting a robust .071, based on 1 for 14. In game #4, Torre even batted A-Rod 8th.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
