Seems fine. Always go for Sir Mix-A-Lot nostalgia drips whenever I can get them.

Why do you think it is strange?



I 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.


Protip: Slang words almost never come from acronyms (The lone exception I've found is "thot")


It 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?


Yep there’s a lot of backronyms out there


It's short for simpleton.


It 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.
