simp
simp, someone who does too much for their crush
Pronunciation
/sʲimp/
Cultural Note
'Simp' was imported directly from English internet culture into Polish and has become standard Gen Z vocabulary. In Polish, it's been partially naturalized: you can say 'simpować' (to simp), 'simpowanie' (simping), and the Polonized plural 'simpy.' The concept maps onto the older Polish idea of being a 'pantoflarz' (henpecked man, literally 'slipper man') but 'simp' is broader — it includes unrequited simping for someone who doesn't reciprocate. Polish meme culture embraced it enthusiastically, creating memes about 'simpowanie do Julki z klasy' (simping for Julia from class).
