Something I did not know.

Apparently Star Wars fans are known as "Starwoids." I've loved Star Wars for almost all my life (granted, I've never gotten into all the die-hard fandom around it or much of the "Expanded Universe" stuff, nor am I one of the type of folks who camped out in front of theaters for Episode I and went to see the movie wearing full Darth Maul makeup), but I've never heard this term before. Is this true, or is it something that was just made up for this documentary thing? Do people actually call themselves this? It has an even sillier/nerdier/more insulting sound to it than "Trekkie" if you ask me.
