The term 'fanum tax' originates from Twitch streamer Roberto Pena (Fanum) and his playful habit of taking food from friends in group settings. Vanessa Croft explains that this phrase represents the unspoken obligation to share food with peers. This newer colloquialism, used primarily by Gen Alpha and Gen Z, has replaced older phrases like 'sharing is caring' and highlights the cultural impact of streaming personalities on language and social interactions.
"The phrase 'fanum tax' refers to the concept that if someone has food in a group setting, they are obligated to share a portion of it with the others."
"Younger generations are now using 'fanum tax' as a colloquial expression which unites their shared experience watching popular streamers."
