Use it when

  • Someone spends money, time, or energy on a person who gives them nothing back.
  • Someone defends or praises a person online well past any reasonable limit.
  • You want to escalate past calling someone a regular simp.

Do not use it when

  • Someone is just being kind or considerate in a relationship.

Origin and context

Derived from 'simp', which became widespread in gaming and internet communities around 2019-2020. Adding 'lord' as an ironic title escalates the mockery.
