• 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.
