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)
