Is this term really in use? To be honest, I'm a big fan of the Wu-Tang Clan and I never heard anyone using a term "Wu-Tanger". I checked the NOW Corpus which contains over 12 billion words shows no evidence of this term. Google hardly mentnions it. I think it is a ephemeral term that was used once nad stop being used.

That corpus isn't the right place to look. Try Google Books, which is full of music magazines etc. We now have 4 citations for sense 1 (member or fan). I don't know about sense 2 (Australian slang for a kind of youth). Equinox 14:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

RFV-resolved. The fan or member passes, the Australian slang term fails. Kiwima (talk) 20:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
