As far as I understand (might be missing nuance, 'cause it was 80s/90s AAVE in the first place) it’s someone who puts the homies aside over chasing a romance, especially if the romantic interest is considered unworthy/‘for the streets’ or if the homies consider what you’re chasing to be unrequited
Basically a person who marks out for someone who probably doesn’t gaf about them
“Simp” used to be a part of AAVE until 4chan and the white gays colonized it
They do that to a lot of our vernacular these days
And what did it use to mean in AAVE?
