Simp

simp; someone who fawns excessively over a love interest (mocking internet slang)

Origin

Anglicism from internet culture, derived from 'simpleton' (fool, dimwit). Already in 1980s/90s hip-hop culture 'simp' denoted a man too submissive toward a woman. Via platforms like Twitch and YouTube the word became popular: a 'Simp' showers the of their affection with attention and favours without it being reciprocated. Hence the 'simpen'. The term is partly criticised as sexist.
