Pimp.

what is a pimp? let's look at two different definitions for this.

pimp
As an adjective: If somethin' is pimpin', it's pretty darn cool. It's probably something "normal" that's tricked out ghettolicious and gawdy. Basically, you look very ghettofab and blingbling.

However, as a verb 1.) to pimp something out is to *make* it look very ghettofab and all that nifty stuff in the above paragraph. 2.) to pimp is to advertise (generally, in an enthusiastic sense) or to call attention in order to bring acclaim to something; to promote. -from urban dictionary

pimp
–noun
a person, esp. a man, who solicits customers for a prostitute or a brothel; pander; procurer.

in our culture, the term "pimp" is an acceptable term. it's fine to use, and about anything. "pimp my ride" or "that's pimp" are phrases commonly found in everyday language in america. rap and hip hop music glorifies being a pimp. we need to THINK about what this means!! do we really want to glorify people who put girls into slavery? i just went to a lyrics website and put in the word "pimp" for a song title search. do you know how many results it brought up?

116. i don't know about you, but that's not ok with me. the number one halloween costume is a pimp. that makes me sick. honestly sick.

our culture needs to stop glorifying pimps.
