  It used "stan" as both a noun and a verb and I have no idea what it means.

    I think it means 'excessive fan', from Eminem - Stan

    To be a “Stan” is to be a truly diehard fan, bordering on obsession. The term comes from the Eminem song of the same name. It can be used as a noun or a verb.

    Just some fun history, but "stan" is actually a millennial portmanteau courtesy of Eminem [0]. It came out around the time the older Gen Z's were born, actually. Although, yes, it has seen a revival amongst Gen Z. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_(song)
