simping
- 1Present participle and gerund of simp.
His friends teased him for simping over a celebrity he would never meet.
She accused him of simping the moment he offered to pay for everything.
Note
The -ing form does double duty: it is progressive in "he's simping again" and a verbal noun after a preposition in "accused of simping." Because simp is intransitive, the object of the devotion needs a preposition: simping over a celebrity, not simping a celebrity. It is slang with a mocking edge, close to the derogatory noun for a man who puts a woman on a pedestal, so it lands as a jab rather than a neutral description.
