The word "chum" has two main meanings:
- Informally and old-fashioned, "chum" means a close friend or companion, often used to denote a buddy, pal, or school friend. It originated as Oxford University slang for a roommate or "chamber fellow" and is used primarily in British English but understood in American English as well.
- "Chum" also refers to chopped fish or meat thrown overboard by fishermen to attract larger fish, such as sharks. This meaning comes from a different origin and is specific to fishing.

The show centers on two hyperactive, odd, and slow-witted best friends who are superhero enthusiasts. It aired originally from 2009 to 2012 and has a fast-paced, loud, and chaotic style with many references to popular culture and humor.
The query "chum" aligns with the meanings above, and "fanboy" relates to the animated series mentioned. If further explanation or details on any of these topics are needed, just let me know!
