A Japanese honorific. It means "upperclassman," "senior," or the like. It has been appropriated for use in America and the West to mean "obsession" by weaboos. They use this word to attract their Tumblr/DeviantArt/etc. crushes or art seniors to give them art tips or recognition when perhaps they didn't deserve it.
Girl 1: *thinking* I really like this person. But they won't talk to me.
Girl 1: *typing* ArkhamGeek1 is my senpai! I couldn't do art like I do without them!
Girl 1: *thinking* With that on my blog page, they'll see how much I like them.
Girl 2: "Hey, Girl 1, using that word like that is appropriation."
Girl 1: "What do you mean? Of course not!"
Girl 2: "But you don't even speak Japanese..."

Senpai means Teacher or Mentor in Japanese. The word is most commonly used by annoying as fuck weeaboos, making many people cringe when said out loud

It originates from anime and manga. It's someone older than you. Someone you look up to. If they give the slightest attention to you, you sort of explode. They are just really admired by you and if you are a senpai, bask in it!

The Japanese word 'senpai' means someone that is older than you or has more experience than you. The word 'senpai' has nothing to do with love.
''Senpai is teaching us something new in maths!'' 「先輩は私たちに数学の新しいことを教えてくれます！」
