pimp
v.— «Know this: whatever you may try to pimp, Japanese kids have already pimped bigger and badder than you. While we Americans smugly giggle at the idiocy of the urban Honda Civic owner and the ways of Xzibit on MTV’s Pimp My Ride, Japanese kids have taken vehicle pimping to an extreme artform.
