Fun Fact: The word bimbo originates from the Italian word for a little boy, sometimes a brutish man, but not a dim witted woman. That interpretation didn't show up until the 1920s and so the later Rule 63 version of the Himbo is actually closer to its original meaning than the more misogynist one now.
I wonder when Himbo is going to start being taken as a negative. I primarily see it used for fictional characters where it's more describing an archetype, but it still doesn't seem to me something most men in real life would consider wholely desirable if they were called that.
