Simps is a strange choice of words for a post on hackernews.
- the_only_law 4y agoNot particularly as of recent.
- checkyoursudo 4y agoSeems fine. Always go for Sir Mix-A-Lot nostalgia drips whenever I can get them. Why do you think it is strange?
- nicenewtemp84 4y agoI thought simp stood for "someone idolizing mediocre pu__y", a slur for guys commiting and caring too much about lower tier women. Doesn't really seem to fit a discussion about people agreeing with a corporation.
- akavi 4y agoProtip: Slang words almost never come from acronyms (The lone exception I've found is "thot")
- floydnoel 4y agoYep there’s a lot of backronyms out there
- nicenewtemp84 4y agoIt may not have come from an acronym, but that seems to be the common usage and inferred meaning these days. If not, what is it?
- RobotToaster 4y agoIt's short for simpleton.
- nicenewtemp84 4y agoIt might be, but that doesnt explain why it's #1 usage is towards guys being lame in hopes of getting women. If it was just simpleton, it makes no sense.
- beerpls 4y ago[flagged]
- rolodato 4y agoI think bootlicker is a stronger but more appropriate word. I genuinely cannot believe people support being sold a fully standalone physical product and being charged just for the ability to use it, while thinking it is in their best interest.
