Just curious: where was that? Since I was a child, “Bimbo” meant a dumb, attractive, woman, and implied promiscuity. I heard it most in (Italian) gangster movies, mostly. From what I can tell, the racial slur meaning is used in Germany.
Funny; I lived in Germany for a couple of years and never heard that version, but then, I didn’t hang out with the types that would be inclined to teach it to me. I got standard cuss words and some colloquial Bavarian curses.
I haven’t heard it since I left elementary school. I only realized later that there were some really racist kids on that school. Also, it was the 80s. It’s shocking to me now that I learnt basically all the racist and antisemitic jokes I know during my time at elementary school.
Yeah, me too. And a vast amount of misogynistic stuff. The latter, I suspect, was just bog-standard puberty and oral lore, most of which was crude. But I still remember many limericks.
Back when I was a kid, “bimbo” was another slur for black people.

Apparently it is a term that began with WW2. It’s highly regional and not many people use it
It’s a slur for white blonde women in the U.S.
🤷
Yes, particularly those with augmented aesthetics
I never, like, asked for this
I don’t think bolt-ons come naturally much often
With big breasts
That’s Germany only. That’s a very, very small subset of the Hispanic America population
