In whose vernacular? I've never heard it spoken in person, just seen it on posts by some of the worst people online.
"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?
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
Vernacular doesn't need to belong to a person or even a group of people.
If your problem is with the people who say it and not the word itself, that's a different issue and one that I'm not really interested in debating.
Then why do they call it "African American Vernacular English"?
Who says I can't have two problems?
Is English your second language? I didn't say it can't be associated to a person or group, I said it doesn't need to.
I also didn't say that you can't have more than one problem, I just addressed the one you seemed to be concerned with and defined it as one that I'm not interested in debating.
