Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Bimbo shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Bimbo offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Bimbo at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Bimbo? Wrong! If the Bimbo is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Bimbo then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Bimbo? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Bimbo and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Bimbo wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Bimbo then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Bimbo site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Bimbo, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Bimbo, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
Bimbo is a term that emerged in popular English language usage in the late
20th Century to describe an often attractive, yet stupid, pliable woman. This term began as early as 1919. Etymonline.com The 1929
silent film,
Desert Nights, describes a cheap female crook as a bimbo. This word derives from the
Italian language bimbo, a word of masculine Grammatical gender that means (male) baby or very young (male) child (its feminine equivalent is
bimba). The 50's song "Bimbo", about a toddler, was one of the early hits for the popular American singer Jim Reeves. Its first usage in English was for stupid men; it now is understood to mean a woman unless modified as
male bimbo,
himbo, or
mimbo. Some still prefer the explicitly female variant
bimbette, which has also entered
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. Others use
bimbette for a
younger bimbo.
A bimbo is not necessarily highly sexually attractive. Being a bimbo is a state of mind, and reflects a person who exaggerates the effort and value put into her physical attractiveness. She is often perceived to be shallowly focusing on her physical appearance and neglecting or even willfully stifling the development of other parts of her personality.
The archetype of a bimbo with sex appeal is much used as a
stock character in Comedy with sexual humor, an example being Christina Applegate's character,
Married... with Children#Kelly Bundy, in
Married... with Children. Alicia Silverstone's character, Cher Horowitz, in
Clueless (film) is more accurately described as a valley girl, a similar archetype with more laughably unusual priorities and behaviors than are strictly derived from the bimbo themes of comical stupidity and sex appeal.
An older comedy archetype of perhaps more direct resemblance to the bimbo is the
dumb blonde—for example, the giggling,
naïve characters portrayed by such sultry actresses as
Marilyn Monroe or, as she appeared on
Laugh-In, Goldie Hawn. Humor depicting all blonde women as stupid is often considered
sexist. However, this should be viewed more as a racist attitude or it would include all women and not just blondes.
Variations
Himbo
The word "himbo" has been coined to describe a man who, were he a woman, would be a bimbo. Williams, Rachel. (July 7, 2006).
PA News Bling, Himbos in dictionary, but unlikely to use one. (writing, "A himbo is an attractive but vacuous man, the male version of a bimbo" as indicated in the latest edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.)
Mimbo
"Mimbo" has a similar meaning to "himbo", being a portmanteau of "male" and "bimbo".
Chimbo
The word "Chimbo" is a slang term coined to describe a female cheerleader who is also seen as being a bimbo.
Bimbious
Bimbious is a word used to describe an often attractive, yet stupid (Bimbo), or pliable woman's behavior, as to an action she takes, ie. "That was a bimbious thing to do!" Did you see what she did? "How bimbious!"
