Pom-Pom

Glossary
Pom-Pom: A term used in internet slang to refer to a person who blindly supports someone or something, often without questioning or thinking critically about it. It is similar to being a fan or a loyal follower, but with a hint of naivety or lack of independent judgment. Examples: 1. Anne is such a pom-pom for her favorite celebrity. No matter what controversial thing they do or say, she always defends and praises them without considering any other perspective. 2. John is a pom-pom for that new gaming console. Even though it has received mixed reviews and has some technical issues, he still insists it's the best console ever.
