Etymology and other uses of the term PIMP…



According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the origins of the word "pimp" are unknown, but it is thought to be related to the 16th century French verb pimper, which means "alluring or seducing in outward appearance or dress".



The verb "to pimp" has acquired a meaning not related to prostitution: to promote, to advertise or to push, as in "ESPN has really been pimping T.O. a lot lately." It may also mean "to make attractive/fancy" as popularized on the American TV series "Pimp My Ride". Cars that have been poorly maintained are made "pimp" through repair and refurbishment, often with thousands of dollars of extravagant equipment.
