Slang for Foreigners

Got a request for this one after the Academy Awards (It ain't easy bein' a pimp won best song). A pimp is a guy that is the boss man for one or more prostitutes (hookers). When you want to get with a girl, you go through the pimp. He sets you up and takes part of the money you pay the hooker. She, in turn, gets protection from him, although some times she also gets a beating from him. Pimps dress with a certain flair (see Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch). This leads to terms like "pimping out" which means to add style to something. Pimping out my ride would mean to dress up your car with new wheels, stereo equipment, video displays, etc.
