From Anu Garg’s A.Word.A.Day: fanboy. I am surprised to see that it goes back to 1919.
Many a teacher will know fanboys as a mnemonic to help students remember the seven coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

Oddly enough (perhaps) sometimes spelled fanbois here in the UK to signal an ironic or disparaging use of the term.
