pimp slap
n.— «“While Clark County is more than willing to participate in a dialogue with you and your legislative leaders about the future of these programs, we believe strongly that they should be one of the last programs to be cut rather than the first.” On the street, this is what’s known as a pimp slap. I’ve been in the Nevada news racket only 25 years, but I’ve never seen a governor get clobbered so openly.» —“Gibbons takes one (or 10) in the kisser over proposed budget cuts” by John L. Smith Las Vegas Review-Journal (Nevada) Oct. 25, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
