NOUN · COLLECTED WITHOUT WARNING
Taking a bite or some of a friend’s food, usually without asking. The phrase comes from the streamer Fanum, who jokingly “taxed” his friends’ snacks on stream.
ZACK’S TRANSLATION
Your dad called it “just trying a chip”. HMRC calls it theft. Same thing.
“Fanum tax on your fries.”
Nobody voted for this tax. Nobody ever does.
“Hide your snacks, he’s collecting fanum tax.”
He is the government now.
“Mum fanum taxed my birthday cake.”
She paid for the cake. Technically it’s a refund.
