- On the rare occasion that I feel the urge to refer to someone as the
- male version of a bimbo, I usually say "bimba". On the even rarer
- occasion I might otherwise have gotten the urge to refer to a female
- as a bimbo, someone else, usually another character beat me to it.
- I don't know any non-fictional bimbos or bimbas.

- HBO had a Dream On episode called "And Bimbo Was His Name-o".
-
- From context I take bimbo to mean a female vacuum-skulled human
- decoration or sex-object. HBO obviously had a broader definition.
