SIMPER Meaning and Definition

  1. Simper, as a verb, refers to a manner of smiling or expressing amusement that is insincere, affected, or perhaps even self-conscious. It typically involves a smile that is restrained, artificial, and lacking genuine warmth. Generally, when someone simpers, they aim to present themselves in a falsely modest, coy, or flirtatious way.

    Simper can also be used as a noun, denoting both the act of simpering and the expression itself. It is characterized by a smile that appears restrained, superficial, or even smug. This type of smile often lacks authenticity, depth, or genuine joy, resembling more of a social mask or facade rather than a sincere emotional reaction.

    The term simper can often have a negative connotation, implying a lack of sincerity, genuineness, or depth of character. It can suggest that the individual using this expression is attempting to manipulate or deceive others by presenting a false image of themselves.

    In general, simpering is considered a somewhat pejorative term, associated with affected behavior, shallowness, or insincerity. It is often used to describe someone who feigns innocence, coquettishness, or exaggerated politeness for personal gain or to draw attention to themselves.

  2. • An affected smile.
    • To sumile in a silly or affected manner.
