Jeez, I'm clearly getting old, never heard this one.

Hardly, it's well known we "Yanks" don't have any (culture).

What we also don't have any longer is a collective sense
of humor in the use of language (we can find _anything_
offensive), which suggests we should be barred from suggesting
names for anything :-)

The first definition in my dictionary for pimp is
simply "procurer".
