It turns out that in the early 2000’s, many of us heard someone get called a 𝙂𝙪𝙩𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥 and never thought twice about it (m.youtube.com)

Have you never heard of the term "simpering"?

simpering

adjective

: marked by insipidity or by affected or ingratiating timidity

simpering behavior

a simpering smile/tone

It may stand for something specifically different now; Suckers Idolising Mediocre Pussy, but the term isn't new, or even only a few decades old.

I believe it could have been a shortened version of "simpleton."

In 1973 it meant "superchimp".

Superchimps are "docile, obedient and uninquisitive" and are perfect for "housekeeping, elementary cooking, tool-carrying and dozens of other routine jobs".

Yes I am aware of the etymology, actually I mentioned something similar to someone else here a week or so ago. I just happened upon this scene from kotor by chance last night and thought it was potentially funny/ interesting/ discussion provoking enough to share!
