50 Pimp Quotes About the Popular Slang Term

By Stephanie Kirby | Published May 18, 2023

Most people associate the word pimp with someone that is an “agent” for prostitutes, but as you will see in these Pimp Quotes, that is not the only meaning.

Traditionally, a “pimp” was a man or a woman that collected fees for a sex worker in exchange for setting up clients, protecting the worker, or providing the location.

The term “pimp” was initially used in 1607 in England for a Thomas Middleton play and was meant to mean “dressing up elegantly.”

In 1636 for Philip Massinger’s play titled The Bashful Lover, the term “pimp” was used for the first time as a verb where it referred to a person acting as the agent for a person soliciting sexual favors for money.

In today’s culture, the term can still refer to the agent of a sex worker, but it can also be used to describe a despicable person, or even more popularly, it is used to refer to something you have customized to your liking, such as in the television show PiLook

Take a look at these Pimp Quotes to learn more about how the term is used.
