I feel like a lot of people don't know the original slang term for gleek....


Thats kind of the idea, anyone who is even slightly invested in the show would know they refer to the fanbase as Gleeks. If you didn't you probably wouldn't care enough to add to this discussion anyway.

Have you ever seen it? Many form a downright hatred for it and have never watched an episode, not to say thats you. Just wondering.

I know some of there fans call themselves that.  However there was a slang term for it that existed well before the show released.  It'd be like if the Cleveland Indians we hitting so well they said "Our teams bats are so Hot we're calling our fans the "Cleveland Steamers".     Fans may call themselves that... still has another meaning.


As for the show... seen quite a few episodes.  First season was the best... after a while couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore due to the likely unintentional but extremely prevelent racism.   Seems like the non white cast members rarely get episodes dedicated to them, and when they do it seems soley related to things involving their race.

Cracked does an ok job explaining it.
