The act of getting overexcited about someone/something you idolize. ("They totally fangirl'd over [x]".)
Not to be confused with fanboy, which is a noun rather than a verb; although, fangirling often implies that you are a fanboy.
Examples for Distinguishing
- One may fangirl when they meet their idol(s), but if they don't collect merchandise/talk about them otherwise, it can be hard to pin them as a fanboy.
- Amy Rose is a Sonic fanboy, but she doesn't often fangirl unless talking about him or being around him.
