Definition

An adjective describing someone or something weak, feeble, or lacking in strength and courage—named after Popeye's hamburger-mooching friend who embodied all those qualities. It's the playground insult that somehow maintained relevance into adulthood. Calling something wimpy is basically saying it couldn't even lift the lightest dumbbell at the gym.

Example Usage

That wimpy apology isn't going to cut it after what you did.
