The fathers of your one and only lord and savior, Mr. Wobble; who is known for his womps, wubs, and wonks alike, and is frequently sought after by women due to his irresistible orange jumpsuit and bodacious bass bod.

SSW (Simp, Soy Boi, White Knight)

Simp, Soy Boi, White Knight. A collective and derogatory term for males (not men) who believe in "patriarchy" have T-shirts that say "This is what a feminist looks like", are the emotional tampon and ultimate friend-zone bench-warmer for any girl who rates over a 5 in attractiveness. These males will always come to the rescue of a physically attractive female regardless of how bad her behaviour is toward other people or him. The SSW thinks he can attract women by being "vulnerable, emotional, and kind". The SSW is the complete opposite of an Alpha male and is secretly detested by every woman.

White Knight

White Knight is a noun, synonymous with cuck and beta male.

White Knights are a common breed of basement dwellers that desperately attempt to woo and appease any girl they encounter, typically to signal virtue and resemble a knight in shining armor. These people are generally lonesome and sexually depraved, so much so that they're willing to contort their personality and say things that they internally cringe at. They will not contradict one thing a girl says, and endlessly agree with her like a shallow yesman. If a lot of attention is

** Not every male who compliments a girl is a white knight, although unwarranted compliments are a major symptom of white knightery. **
Amanda: I'm so upset Jeremiah cheated on me...

Paul: Oh, Jeremiah? Yeah, he's a total asshole. I know you'll find someone better soon though.

Derek: - Whispering to Paul - Paul, quit your white knighting, we both know you're trying to get laid.

Paul: No, you don't understand. I'm concerned for Amanda.

Derek: Riiiight, why would you suddenly give a damn about Amanda now? You two don't even hang out, and have you even MET Jeremiah?

Paul: - Is lying - Yes, I did meet Jeremiah. He's a shrimpy dude who acts like a tough guy, you can tell with one glance that he's a wifebeater.

Derek: Jeremiah's fuckin' 6'4 dude... what the hell you mean "He's a shrimpy dude"?

- Paul is rendered speechless and exposed for the white knight he is. -

White Knight

A person (usually a male) who sees the typical maiden in distress, and believes that he can help her. A male version of the "mother figure" that some girls become.

White knight term can also be applied to a person participating in online forum who is not tasked with moderating it, but engages in the activity nonetheless - so-called backseat modding. The underlying causes for the behaviour are the same - person is anthropomorphising the forum and sees it as a "maiden in distress" and charges to the rescue.
"Why is he going out with her? She's broken, and a little crazy."

"The fool's just being a White Knight."

White Knight

A White Knight is a type of male that will do anything for a female. This includes many things such as; ignoring your friends to talk to girls, breaking the bros before hoes code, hanging out with girls more than your bros, defending all females for no apparent or clear reason and lying to your friends and family to be with females.
Bro 1: Yeah, you see that guy Rudi and Wiliam?

Bro 2: Yeah they're such White Knights
