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
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.
Imagine criticising someone for using a word despite it having been in the vernacular for years.
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?

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?
