An Approval Nod is where one or two more people spot another person wearing merchandise from their favourite thing such as:
Linkin Park shirts
Marvel or DC
Youtube.
And then they share a secret nod of approval, acknowledging one another existence and then leaving their lives forever.
Only fans will understand how it feels too see another fan in the streets and lose all contact with that person.

Fan1:*gives the Approval Nod and walks off*
Fan2:*gives the Approval Nod and secretly fan(Gender) inside knowing there's more of them out there*

It is a big group of people that use multiple things and/or people to put in their fandom such as~ South Park and Phan.
Many people love to create fandom names and ship names like Stenny (Stan and Kenny from South Park)
Also another definition is where fans of a specific subject name it in a certain way.
Me~ Im in the South Park Fandom!!!
Friend 1~ screw you I'm in the Phandom!!
Hottest boy~ I'm in the Basketball Fandom!!
Me and friend~ -facepalms- That's the wrong use of the word 'Fandom'
