One of the women Mr. Pcat works with (she's a junior programmer; he's a senior/architect) has been introducing him to new slang... which means he brings the words home and asks me to define them....
Her word for cool, neat, nifty, whatever is.... pimpin'. :wow: He was hoping he misheard her. We're both rather dumbfounded.
:wtf: ? When did a word that means extorting money from prostitutes in return for protection and/or clientele become a good thing? What the hell is wrong with this young woman?
If she and I worked together, of course, we'd have lunch and I'd very quietly and calmly explain that the word is not appropriate in a business setting, as well as being extraordinarily derogatory and blah-blah-blah.... but Mr. Pcat can't quite do that (other than the appropriateness... he's done that.)
Where did this crap come from?
