        I think I have only heard the term in:

        • The plural of fan: sci fi stories set in the distant future of 1990, also in early internet fandom
        • The wetland: stories from the UK, embedded in British place names, having a British parent

        I wonder what sort of wetland my local one is, and the nearby swampy grasslands. Both are watered by rain or snowmelt. Both are marked as wetlands on maps
