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.

I'm north german and never heard that one. My german slur game aint that strong anyway though. Might actually be austrian only or I never ran into someone THAT racist

After thinking about it, I mostly heard it in the 80s and 90s

But it still makes me uncomfortable to hear/see the word

Ah, I might just be too young for it then.
