While I find this story rather humorous that it’s a “story” (albeit in the NY Post) or headline at all, I agree with Demi (which is also quite odd.)
I really dislike when educated/smart people use the word pimp to describe anything cool or good. Pimps are not cool or good. They are low-life scumbags. Period. Not something that you should be striving for. Or using to describe anything good.
Do rap stars use it a lot in songs? Yes. They also glorify bitches, hos (hoes?), crime, shootings and drug use as an OK thing. Awesome. So no – I don’t see it as OK to use the word in its “new sense”.
Plus it makes you sound ghetto. Why in the world would you want that? Rap stars make money to *get out* of the ghetto.
Stepping down from soapbox now…

they both get on my nerves – I but I do agree with Demi in this case – and it gets on my nerves when spoiled rich kids appropriate ghetto language to seem cool.

LOL! They both get on my nerves too! But at least Demi does something…sometimes. I am still trying to figure out what Kim does besides pose for pictures and get famous for her father defending a murderer. Oh well.
But yes – HATE the ghetto language. Most poor kids want to make money to get out of the ghetto and do better in their lives. So why the hell are you suburban or rich kids trying to sound like them? Idiots.
