Subject: himbos revisited



was reading the south african version of _elle_ magazine and came

across an article called "happiness is a himbo". it claims (though i

don't trust _elle_'s linguistic research methods) that the term

was coined in _tatler_ magazine (a british women's mag). no date

given.



but they also give another form that i don't remember being discussed

here: bimboy. i like it.
