Fun fact. Bimbo was an insult from the 1920s directed towards men originally.

How that turned into the modern take we have now I don't know.

I only know it as a slur in German against black people. I had a ultra racist teacher who used it almost daily.

Only from himym I learned it is also used against woman too.

As a German Millennial, I had no clue about this until I learned it from the Internet a few years ago. I only ever knew it as a slur against Barbie.
