: Does "simper" mean "to say or smile coyly"?
: and is it commonly used?
: thanks a lot more

I never heard of this word ( I am in the US ) till today and I thank you for enriching me.

"Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Danish dialect simper, affected, coy.
intransitive senses : to smile in a silly manner"
