was there a word equivalent to 'bling' in the 80s?
I believe we said "Jewelry".
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

My official opinion on pimp cups is that they are as ugly as class rings.
So, Matt, what is the deal? Overtime is just another name for unpaid work? Not a good way to encourage a strong work ethic, I'd imagine.

Wait. You go with the class rings, but give Jesse grief for the pimp cups?

I do not see them as similar in any way. Sure some men's class rings can get ginormous and tacky, but not all - and they signify completion of a milestone.

So do pimp cups, surely?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hmm. First 'ho? First arrest? First acquittal? I can see that.

Yeah, once you get your last merit badge in Smackin' and Mackin' you graduate to Pimp, and them you get your cup and bling and your velvet hat with a feather.

It's the ginormous and tacky thing, msbelle, but you're right, as social signifiers go, "class" tends to be much more substantial than "pimp." Then again, "pimp" might just be a bit more exclusive.

Damn. I need to do work, but b.org is fun today with the resurgence of showtalk.
In random news, my lunch was a super delicioso burrito from Tlaloc, but I did that thing where a sharp piece of tortilla chip wedges into your gumline. Yowtch.
