Being fond can mean anything from liking something a little (“I’m fond of that band”) to be extremely, almost absurdly interested in something (“He’s a little too fond of football”). This word sometimes implies foolishness and absurdity: almost like you love something so much that you’ve lost your mind. But usually being fond is a good thing: it just means you enjoy something.)
