/Sounds like "pah-pee-CHOO-loh"/
A Dominican and Caribbean compliment for an attractive man with good style and confident attitude. Comes from "papi" (affectionate handsome) plus "chulo" (pretty/arrogant), and describes a guy who takes care of himself, dresses well, and knows he's fine. Also used romantically when a woman praises her partner: "mi papichulo." The word crossed into the US with reggaeton and Latin urban trap.
"Ese papichulo siempre llega bien vestido. → That papichulo always shows up dressed sharp."
"Mi papichulo me trajo flores. → My papichulo brought me flowers."

Simpear
To go way overboard trying to impress or please someone who doesn't return your feelings, basically being a simp in Spanish. Borrowed from the English internet slang 'simp,' it spread across Latin American and Spanish social media to describe someone who bends over backwards for a person who couldn't care less about them.
