    I need to use Stans for regional definitions way more often.

    The canadian Lynx stans most of Canada sans their arctic islands , and Alaska.

    I need to hear this on ZeFrank and CasualGeoraphic.

      I don’t know if this is a misunderstanding or if you’re deliberately using an additional second meaning for comedic effect.

      But @ChaoticNeutralCzech meant ‘stans’ as ‘central Asia’ because of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirgisistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

        Yeah the second meaning is also ‘Stan’. It got popularized five? years ago now when there was some superfan of a celebrity called Stan who knew everything about them. So if you’re super into something like Eminem or a KPop group, you’d say, I stan Taylor Swift.

        So if an animal stans the Himalayas, that means they love it so much they live there.

      ZeFrank is suddenly way more active than he used to be. I thought he’d quit YouTube but apparently he’s back now.
