FANBOYS - Once there were seven friends. They created a club to stay connected with each other through ideas, thoughts and views. The name of the club was FANBOYS, which was the acronym made out of their name's first letter. The first friend 'FOR' who was an interesting case and used to share similar taste with his best buddy 'BECAUSE'. He always had good reasons to cover the mysteries. 'AND' was the best out of them as getting along with others came naturally to him. He used to love giving equal importance to everything without avoiding anyone. Here goes the most negative member whose name was 'NOR'. Agreeing on something was a big deal for her. Refusing every suggestion was her catchphrase. 'BUT' was confused about everything as he always came up with something different from what he had said before. The most choosy one was 'OR' who had options ready for every situation. Knowing 'YET' was the complicated experience because he used to do just opposite to what he had committed. Even though he was the key member of the club, yet he was least bothered about their club meetings. There you go! The last but not the least 'SO' was the most enthusiastic, she periodically reiterated or give reasons for what had been said or had happened previously.
