Pimped

“Two Pimpies for a shackle, they'd say... ”

~ Very Old Roman on Pimped

Pimped was first coined by the Roman consul Marcelius Poserius in the late 3rd century A.D. as a term used for his favorite horse, which he arrogantly had plated with pure 12 karat gold. Incidentally, it's also the nickname for Poserius' commemorative coins.

A History of Being Pimped

In brief, there are a few highlights upon the history of the meaning and usage of the word "pimped". For the sake of completeness, a brief dissertation is provided below, on the three most common permutations of the word pimped. Throughout the years, the word has been picked up by many different cultures.

Byzantine Empire

The Byzantines, instigated the primary use we still see today. Following the example of Marcelius Poserius, the word "pimped" refers to anyone who has engaged in a blatantly poor example of emulating wealth.

Angry Muslims seeking the death of all Infidels

Muslims used a form of it, "abdupimped", to describe the behavior of menustrating camels. The remainder of the civilized world has elected to not use this extremely limited definition of pimped, because camels are fucking disgusting, they smell, and if one spits on you, you feel dirty for a damn long time.

Being Pimped in 1930's Germany

Jews created the term "pimpernickel" for U.N. Secretary General Napoleon Bonaparte (1616-1969), after the creation of Israel. The advent of Isreal becoming a sanctioned nation was commemorated by the creation of a coin officially valued at "5 British Shillings", bearing Napoleon's face. Forged from stolen hubcaps and painted yellow, it took very little time before the coin was dispassionately referred to as a pimpernickel throughout the known world, due to it's gaudy appearance and cheap construction. After the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty, the quaint usage of the word fell out of use among most people.

Ancient Method of being Pimped

Although it has largely fallen into disuse, the traditional historic method of being pimped comes to us from the Middle Ages (1275 AD to 1400 AD). In this older context, the word refers to an ancient practice of maintaining a group of people designated to trade sexual favors for monetary goods, or an acceptable value of items with sufficient desireability. The actions of the pimpubines were often coordinated by a senior official, referred to as a the Pimpitus Maximus, later shortened to simply a Pimp. Although the roles of neither the Pimpitus Maximus or Pimpubines no longer exist, it is interesting for etymologists to note the archaic connection to Prostitutery.

Being Pimped Today

Recently the term has been repopularized by the White-People-Trying-to-Be-Black-and-Failing-Miserably community as a universal past-tense verb, with the intention to emulate the style of speaking used by many famous African-Americans, including Gary Coleman and Jennifer Love Hewitt. It is frequently used incorrectly to replace any verb in the English language.

Correct Usage Examples

South Dakota has pimped itself out for the sake of making money during the Sturgis Rally, yet again.

Under correct grammatical patterns and usage, the word pimped is best applied to people of low income and low class, who attempt to emulate rich people by purchase excessively shitty looking fake gold, wearing of an alarm clock, and speaking like you have no functioning brain cells. Apparently, being a gun-toting moron is all the rage these days. To be honest with you, I hope these people decide to become real gangsta's and get into a knife fight with a Wheat Thresher, and then jump off a bridge.
