How it's used
Expresses an intense, almost irrational level of enthusiasm or obsession that goes beyond simple liking. While it can describe positive interests, it often carries a nuance of being slightly out of control or excessive in the eyes of others. It is frequently used to describe fans of celebrities, sports teams, or specific hobbies.
Examples
He is fanatical about football and watches every single match.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person who is simply hardworking or diligent, as it implies a lack of moderation or a loss of perspective. It is not a synonym for being passionate in a professional or balanced sense.
