Thirsty
Significado: Desperately eager for attention, approval, or romantic/sexual interest.
'Thirsty' describes someone who is so desperate for attention that it's obvious and embarrassing. A thirsty person slides into every DM, likes every photo, and tries too hard to be noticed. The metaphor of thirst (craving something you don't have) perfectly captures the desperation. It's related to 'simp' but broader — you can be thirsty for fame, attention, or social media clout, not just romantic interest.

- Stop being thirsty and just play it cool. 别那么饥渴,淡定点好吗。Deja de ir tan desesperado y compórtate con naturalidad.そんなにガツガツしないで、もうちょっと余裕を持ちなよ。그렇게 안달하지 말고 좀 쿨하게 행동해.
