The house of Babel

~族(zú) and ~迷(mí) made a lot of new nous. Then 粉(fěn)~ and ~丝(sī) are coming. Originally 粉丝 is one word, which is vermicelli made from bean starch. But the new 粉丝 is definitely different from vermicelli. 粉丝 comes from the transliteration of English fans.

The funny thing is that 粉丝 was separated to make new nouns respectively. Such word were very popular in the internet. After a little while, it will disappear from internet too.
