Obsessive-Fans are the scary kind of fan. They know EVERYTHING about their fandom. They have it memorized. Obsessive-Fans blow a fuze if they miss a single movie, blog, T-shirt, etc, of their fandom. They take it RIDICULOUSLY serious.
Obessive-Fans are avoided by Proper-Fans and Casual-Fans, though Psuedo-Fans latch onto them in an attempt to look like Proper-Fans.
Note: It is possible to be an Obsessive-Psuedo-Fan, becoming Obsessive with every new trend. It is also possible to recover from being an Obsessive-Fan, though it is usually very difficult.

Jill's room is full of Twilight posters. She has mutltiple copies of each book. EVERYTHING in her life revolves around Twilight.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
