A pimp is a person, almost always used about a man, who controls one or more prostitutes and takes some or most of the money they earn from clients. It's an illegal and very negative word — nobody wants to be called a pimp in this sense. There is a second, much lighter slang use, especially in hip-hop and street language: to 'pimp' something, or say it's 'pimped out,' means to make it look flashy and impressive, especially a car with shiny, expensive decorations. This second meaning has nothing to do with crime — it's just about looking fancy.
皮條客(控制性工作者、抽取她們收入的人);口語上也可指把東西改裝得很炫(pimped-out car)
