An affectionate term for a devoted fan of British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, known for roles like Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Strange, and Alan Turing. Cumberpersons are famously passionate, often organising fan events, creating fan art, and debating which Cumberbatch role is his finest hour. The gender-neutral 'Cumberperson' emerged from the earlier 'Cumberbitch' — a term fans used for themselves that was later softened. It's a badge of honour for anyone deeply invested in the man's career.
As a dedicated Cumberperson, she had watched every episode of Sherlock at least four times.
