An obsolete, obscure, (semi-)Esperanto term for English-speaking (Anglophone) fandom, which meant pretty much all of it at the time: the U.K., U.S., Canada and Australia.
As the concept had so little meaning, the word was hardly, if ever used; the first (and only?) apearence seems to be in Fancyclopedia 2 (1959) which contains it just once and negatively, in the entry Fans Outside Angloparlantia.
This is a fanspeak page. Please extend it by adding information about when and by whom it was coined, whether it’s still in use, etc.
