It seems we've outgrown the term, and I don't think I've heard its use in like 10-15 years.
There's so much better slang that has replaced it.

when used to describe a certain kind of lady who studies broadcast journalism, it is highly apt

i will always vouch for bimbo, a fantastic term, always in style
― oops i accidentally made it personal (surm), Monday, 30 November 2009 03:42 (sixteen years ago)
when used indiscriminately, like so many terms, it becomes sexist and objectionable, and thus must be used with care

Sure it's a good term- but the 3 chicks above are better used as 'tools'.
― Tooth Far I (csa), Monday, 30 November 2009 03:49 (sixteen years ago)
tool is a term 4 dudes btw

how do you feel about himbo
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 30 November 2009 03:52 (sixteen years ago)
x-post Nah I use tool to describe both dudes and girls.
OK with bimbo btw. It's the best word to describe a specific type of person. Himbo is AWFUL. HOW SAYS THAT?!

errr WHO not HOW obv.
not *every* girl who does broadcast journalism - just a certain kind
also certain hairdressers - bimbos have work and careers - skills - and they have charms
― Puddle of Thudd (acoleuthic), Monday, 30 November 2009 03:54 (sixteen years ago)
I'm sure the 3 chicks are pretty used to be described that way. It's pretty genderless as a term as ENBB says.Bimbo is a Bimbo.

i just thought it was funny - that's what my MA was technically in, though I actually focused on other subjects. I was one of a handful of people that weren't the future news producers and anchors of the Bay Area or future sound engineers.

Your MA was in Bimboism? Brilliant. xpost

xp - yeah, but i didn't actually take any bimboism classes.
― sarahel, Monday, 30 November 2009 04:08 (sixteen years ago)
I always associate "bimbo" with a derisive dismissal of blonde sexpot characters, usually by other characters, in 80s movies.

^^^^this is the only reason I ever think of the word 'bimbo'
(google image searching for 'bimbo's' was a bad idea.)

dissapointed, sarahel. (( the world needs it masters, right?

not calling you one, btw.

For me the bimbo archetype has to be Chrissy from 3's Company:

The term "bimbo" died when Wally George's career died... 1989 or so.

In between the scripted liberals he'd invited for ur discussion on Hot Seat, sometimes he would invite hot chicks (well, O.C. Hot Chicks (TM)) on the show after which Wally George poorly feigned shock and pointed at each girl screaming "and this BIIIM-BOOOO!!!"

I saw many variations of this kind of sign in Italy earlier this summer, and each time it was cause for jolly lols:
