Your word isn't here yet

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

/Sounds like the English word "simp" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

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.

Examples

Stop simping over her, she doesn't even notice you.

He sent her flowers three times and she didn't even reply, he's simping so hard.

Word family

Gossip, a rumor, or a scandalous situation in Chile. The 'cagüín' is the story everyone wants to hear even though nobody knows exactly how it started. If there's a cagüín, there's drama.
