WHAT is more pimp than rolling up in a 35,400,000 B.C. T-Rex with gold fronts and mad bling on the saddle?
hmm, bling bling, i want to pimp my ride this way. haha
我来解释一下。虽然解释起来花费时间,但解释一下,这篇也归到自我教育吧。;)
从简单来。t-rex就是Tyrannosaurus rex就是霸王龙?(我问)。gold fronts这里指大金牙,金门牙,这条龙整个呀都换金的了。mad bling的bling我们已经解释过了。mad就是很多,很牛的意思。看看t-rex脖子上挂的装饰:)saddle就是马鞍。
现在进入主题,今天是pimp。
pimp的本意是皮条。动词拉皮条,名词拉皮条的。
define: pimp
" someone who procures customers for whores (in England they call a pimp a ponce)
pander: arrange for sexual partners for others

A pimp is an informal term for a man who runs a brothel or otherwise oversees prostitution. The female counterpart to a pimp is a madam. Typically, a pimp will solicit clients for, protect, and in other ways manage a prostitute in exchange for a commission on her earnings.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp"
现在你更多听到的pimp或者pimping是其他意思了。
define: pimping
"Prostitution is the sale of sexual services (examples: oral sex, sexual intercourse) for money. A person selling sexual services is a prostitute, a type of sex worker. In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling their services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting themselves.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimping"
任何为不值当的事情出卖自己的服务都可以称为在pimping。比如,我们现在很多人上班,就是pimp ourselves。
还有呢,在pimp my ride这种用法里面,在pimping做形容词用的时候,
Urban Dictionary: pimp
"6. pimp 25 up, 93 down
As an adjective: If somethin' is pimpin', it's pretty darn cool. It's probably something "normal" that's tricked out ghettolicious and gawdy.
Basically, you look very ghettofab and blingbling."

就是很酷的东西都可以成为pimping。
那么pimp my ride中做动词就是把我的车给整cool点。本身那个节目就是那个内容啦。
However, as a verb
1.) to pimp something out is to make it look very ghettofab and all that nifty stuff in the above paragraph.
2.) to pimp is to advertise (generally, in an enthusiastic sense) or to call attention in order to bring acclaim to something; to promote.
