Side note, I’ve always been curious whether “simping” is short for “simpering” or “sympathizing.” I’ve seen it used either way, I think.
Like, when it’s used as an insult to people who are overly obsequious towards another, I could see it meaning “simpering.”
But when it’s used as a noun to refer to someone who supports something detestable, I could see it meaning “sympathizer,” and then subsequently being converted to verb form by nature of internet slang…
