down horrendous

Pathetically seeking attention

Down horrendous describes someone displaying excessive, desperate, or pathetic romantic or sexual thirst—an intensified form of "down bad." Where down bad suggests strong attraction clouding judgment, down horrendous implies truly embarrassing levels of desperation: He's commenting heart emojis on her vacation pics from 2019—down horrendous.

The term emerged from internet slang, typically used to mock or self-deprecatingly acknowledge shameless behavior.
