A respelling of "simping", meaning to be in a sad or more emotional state, but the cause is not limited to unrequited love or attention. The use of the "y" is a nod to the word from which it is derived, "sympathy".
Jack: Hey, guys, I'm really not feeling the club tonight. I just don't feel great right now.

Tom: You know what, man, let's just go to the bar, open a tab, and talk it out.

Chris: It's a symping night, boys! Lay it all out, kings!

Ken Allen 

Ken Allen (February 13, 1971 – December 1, 2000) was a Bornean Orangutan at the San Diego Zoo. He was among the most popular animals in the history of the zoo because of his many successful escapes from his enclosures. He was nicknamed "Hairy Houdini". His escapes included disassembling the cages he was meant to be kept in, climbing out of his enclosures, walking amongst the customers as though he were a regular, teaching other Orangutans to escape, and bully his arch-nemesis, Otis, another male Orangutan whom Ken Allen absolutely hates. He became a cult icon, not unlike Harambe.
Zookeeper 1: Oh my god, he got out again?
Zookeeper 2: ... Was it Ken Allen again?
Zookeeper 1: Yeah. And the other Orangutans got out of the enclosure, too. I think Ken taught them how to escape.
Zookeeper 2: HE DID WHAT!?

It also is the bane of every biochemistry student's existence.
Professor: Alright, now time to check the process. How's the PCR coming along?
Graduate Student: I had the undergrad handle it this time
Professor: Oh, good! How's that going?
Undergrad: uhhh..... I forgot to anneal
Graduate: YOU FORGOT WHAT!?

rule 0 of the internet

Ask for none, and you shall recieve all.

In other words, if someone explicitly says they don't like something or don't want to see something, that's all they'll see for an extended period of time. Examples include the Harambe meme, Ligma, and Philip Defranco being called "daddy".
YouTube commenter 1: Here's 10 dollars for you, daddy

Philip Defranco: Thanks, but please don't call me "daddy".

*YouTube comments proceed to call him daddy for entire livestream and beyond*

Another commenter: Phil, you broke rule 0 of the internet. What have you done?
