番薯

(rfv-sense) Chinese. "fan". (Note that we currently have 粉絲 / 粉丝 (fěnsī) 飯 / 饭 (fàn) fan屎 fans 番薯 (fānshǔ) all from English fan or fans.) 番薯 feels dubious for me, or at least extremely uncommon when compared to others. -- Wpi31 (talk) 11:15, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

@Wpi31: It's hard to find, but I did find some evidence (although not durably archived):

• [2] 以前譚伯同哥哥啲番薯直頭打交添啦
• [3] 有無vivian番薯呀... […] 聽Vivian 唱歌, 係要用個心去聽去想..... 不過我唔係佢番薯.
• [4] 至於似唔似我就唔多 care, 唔係佢番薯
• [5] 雖然佢咁身細可憐但上天眷顧佢送左把靚聲比佢, 同聰明大膽, 因為佢年青時, 走去學完化妝又立即教人化妝搵食去, 仲有佢老公都好勁,, 毛俊輝是也...我不是佢"番薯", 但佢既事我是知一二...
• [6] 仲要把聲好溫柔同超 cute, he he, 以後都要做佢番薯上佢 d 堂先得 !!

It's also mentioned in 香港粵語慣用語研究, page 100 [7]. This source alone should be enough for verification since Cantonese is a WT:LDL. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 19:03, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
