This week’s word is “Directioner.” If you search for it on Dictonary.com, you will find “no dictionary results.” (That’s because it’s new to the word scene.)
According to Urban Dictionary.com, a Directioner is “Someone who stands by the band One Direction no matter what. Who would be there to support the boys 100%.” The boys? That would be Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis, and Liam. Five guys from the U.K. who are causing quite a stir around the young music scene.
If you happened to watch The Today Show last Tuesday and Wednesday (November 13 and 14), then you saw about 15,000 Directioners taking over mid-town Manhatten. I was there, camped out on the street, waiting in a line, standing for hours, and being corraled into a pen that I wasn’t allowed to return to if I left. I’m not a Directioner, but I happen to love someone who is.
Is there anyone you would sleep on the streets of New York to see? Stand in the freezing rain, just so you could hear them in person? Is there anyone you would stand by no matter what and you would support 100%? Or are you a Directionator…a fair weather fan?
