Reffy

Reffy, as in "Reference", someone whose fandom surrounds other fandoms rather than the topic itself. Someone who is able to recognize popculture references of a certain fandom, participate in the conversation, and shares in a topical fascination. Somewhat of an anthropologist/sociologist of cult classics, being more interested in the phenomena of people's response to a work more than the work itself. A Reffy need not actually have been directly exposed to the movie/book/etc at hand- as they are more interested in how people have been moved by and come together over a common interest. Reffy is not a insult for less educated fans, but a specific word for those who are more interested in geeking out on how other people geek out. Some Reffy's may even prefer not to indulge in the movie themselves, so that they remain neutral in appreciating fan perspectives of all angles.

A Reffi is one of heart, courage, beauty, and comradeship. A Reffi will never back down from a problem or situation no matter how intense. A Reffi stands up for their values and sometimes may be called an asshole for standing up for what they believe in.

Reffi's originate from San Marino which is a small city state in Italy.

A term for the non-cannon pairing between Reno and Yuffie Kisaragi of Final Fantasy VII. A semi-popular pairing due to the pairs complementing personalities.
