Simp

Simp is an internet slang term, usually with a pejorative meaning. It means a person, usually male, who appears to be trying to impress a person too much, usually to a person of the opposite sex. Simps will typically attempt to gain a sexual relationship with the person who they are attempting to impress. The person who the simp is attached to normally will not express the same feelings.
The simp may be seeking, or may be accused of seeking, intimacy or sexual intercourse with his target. The actions of a simp are called "simping". "Simping" is similar to the term "stanning" (too much interest in a celebrity). Simping can be done by both men and women. Targets may include celebrities, politicians, e-girls and e-boys.
Originally, the word "simp" was a shortening of the word "simpleton". Since the 2020s, it has been popularly used as an insult.
