pimping
n.— «Fooling the cameras is easy: the students tape a fake license plate, printed on glossy paper and using license-plate-like fonts downloaded off the web, over their real license plate – then set off cameras. Days later, a $40 citation appears in the mail for whomever the fake plates are actually registered to. An unnamed parent said students refer to the practice as the “Pimping” game, and some have gone so far as to borrow friends’ cars that are similar to the car they wish to prank.» —“Students Use Speed Cameras to Frame Innocent Drivers, Prank Teachers” by Tom Corelis DailyTech (Chicago, Illinois) Dec. 22, 2008.
