Etymology

Bimbo comes from the Italian word bambino, which is like 'baby' and means 'little child', and early English used it for a silly or foolish person. Because being like a 'child' suggested not serious or not wise, bimbo became an insult for an attractive woman thought to be unintelligent and often kept by rich men.
