Theoketos Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 [quote name='musturde' date='Jan 17 2006, 03:47 PM']Why was he banned? Now i'm going to remain bored for the rest of the week Where I come from, calling someone a pimp is a good thing.... even if his context was in a weird almost literal way. See, if I said, "the Pope's a pimp". That would go under the category of "cool" or "flippin' awesome". Lets ask Urban Dictionary about it: 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.

Besides, calling something pimp and meaning it as cool is degrading to woman as it implies pimps are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, It doesn't imply pimps are cool. It's just a different meaning that came along through evolution(Darwinism). Just like many words we use today were once bad but now are acceptable.

Laudate_Dominum Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I think there was more to it than the word pimp. The worst of his stuff was edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertwoman Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Thanks for the love yall. But I just can't stand it when ignorance like this sheers its ugly head. I know I shouldn't feed the troll either Myles, but sometimes passion just takes over. Plus, will the banning of tiny tim cause more fuel to the fire?
