Pimping

I've decided that I don't like the glorification of the word "pimp" in the english language. I'm not against the consensual crime of prostitution per se (I'm not that moral). I do find that pimps are rather despicable people that leech off of women without providing much services for them. Often they are violent towards their "employees" and can enable their drug addictions.



So sentences like the following sentence praising a peer seem rather hilarious:

"Yo, yo, he's the bomb. He's a total pimp. He can really pimp those ho's, you know what I'm saying."

If we are going to glorify crime, why not go all the way:

"Yo, yo, he's the bomb. He's a total wife beater. He can really beat those bitches, you know what I'm saying."

"Yo, yo, he's the bomb. He's a total child molester. He can really molest those brats, you know what I'm saying."

And why bomb? Can we use some other weapon?:

"Yo, yo, he's the sarin gas."

"Yo, yo, he's total ebola."

I think I'm going to start using that last one...kind of cute.
