One of Eminem’s iconic words has just been officially added to the dictionary ...

Eminem is hugely influential in the world of rap and music ... and now that influence has been taken to a whole new level.

Over the weekend, the word "stan" officially entered Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as both a noun and a verb, all thanks to the singer himself.

The term stems from Eminem and Dido's 2000 song of the same name, which tells the story of a deranged fan who goes from super-fanatic status to unhinged stalker by the end of the song.

So, if you're a stan (noun), then you're "an extremely or excessively enthusiastic and devoted fan."

If you stan (verb) something, then you "exhibit fandom to an extreme or excessive degree : [are] an extremely devoted and enthusiastic fan of someone or something, " per Merriam-Webster.

The term has been widely used in pop culture especially over the last few years.

People use the word to describe themselves and others when they are huge fans of a celebrity, ultimately making it have less of a negative connotation and more of a casual one.

Regardless of the nature it's used in, it's a pretty cool feat for the legendary Slim Shady.
