| has gloss | (noun) a young woman indulged by rich and powerful older men bimbo |
| has gloss | eng: Bimbo is a term that emerged in popular English language usage in the early 20th century to describe a physically attractive but unintelligent woman. Use of this term began in the United States as early as 1919, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which cites the American Magazine issue of November that year. The sense here was of a stupid man (see below). The etymology is given only as "slang (orig. U.S.)". Further cites in the OED show the male sense being used by P.G. Wodehouse as late as 1947, in Full Moon. The first cite in the OED for its female meaning is in 1929, from the scholarly journal American Speech, where the definition was given simply as "a woman". |

| has gloss | dan: Bimbo er et begreb, der opstod i engelsk sprogbrug i det tidlige 20. århundrede til at beskrive en ofte attraktiv, ikke-intelligent kvinde. Brugen af dette ord begyndte i USA så tidligt som 1919. I en stumfilm fra 1929 kaldet Desert Nights, beskrives en velhavende kvindelige skurk som en bimbo. Ordet stammer fra det italienske bimbo, et ord der kommer fra "Bambino" (som betyder baby på italiensk). |
