Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "SEEMP" (as in "see")/

Meaning

Someone who does absolutely everything for a person they like without getting anything in return, losing all dignity in the process. The simp showers their crush with gifts, compliments, and self-humiliation hoping for the tiniest crumb of attention. Borrowed from English internet culture, it is now deeply embedded in Spanish-speaking social media across Latin America and Spain.

Examples

That dude is such a simp, he buys her everything and she doesn't even notice him.

Don't be a simp, have some dignity.

To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
