I’ll get into that later, maybe. Oh, but “pimp.” “Pimpin’ ain’t easy.” “Pimp my ride.” “I just pimped my weblog,” as I saw someone in the comments at The Heretik say today… I even understand that Pimpin’ was a major part of the Academy Awards, last night. First of all, it’s an ugly word. It’s the first syllable of “pimple.” And it is, much like its sonorously similar cousin, filled to mob bursting with nastiness. Pimpin’, let’s not forget, is running a stable of prostitutes. mob A pimp takes a prostitute’s money, pays her in drugs mob and beats her when she gets uppity about it. We have come to associate material flamboyance as a lifestyle with the word, but let’s not gloss over the word’s origins. How someone managed Slavery to us as a commodity is beyond me.
