So, why 'The Pimpest?'

Good question lol.

I’m here to lay all the rumors to rest: I’m not a literal pimp. I have a day job, and like to have a personal life so I can’t even imagine moonlighting as a pimp. When I say ‘pimp’ it entails nothing of the vocation. My use of the word started in middle school, often referring to things as pimp when I thought they were cool or interesting.

I grew up, read some books, and generally gained a wider vocabulary, yet still sometimes feel like pimp is the only way to describe something. So when I started purchasing devices that I could name (phones, computers, tablets, etc.), I was usually pretty excited about them so they definitely fell in the ‘pimp’ category. Over time I’ve really stuck with the bit.

Guess what my phone is named: that’s right, pimp-phone. TV? pimp-tv. My gaming PC is named pimp-ultimate. That’s because the original pimp-pc was many versions of hardware ago. However this is the last PC I intend to build, and I was sick of coming up with unique PC names that start with pimp-.

Bought a car with on-board wifi, naturally it’s named pimp-car. As my Raspberry Pi obsession started and grew (future link here) and I accrued more and more devices to name, my pimp-naming became out of control. Do you know how many devices in my house are named pimp-something? A fucking lot lol.

Then, I hit the pinnacle of pimp-naming: I decided to try web-hosting and buy my very first domain. It didn’t take long to think of one that spoke to me. Luckily it was available.

That’s why ‘the pimpest’. So if you came here for information on actual pimping, I apologize. But if you found my site during your research on pimping, then I’m not sorry and that’s fucking hilarious.
