(ot) some really cool rims - Bling Bling means...

[sad_rocc@veedub.com (Dan Smith)]

Man I feel like a youngin'. Words like bling-bling and stuff are things I hear quite often. I can't believe there are numourous websites dedicated to defining slang terms. And Tberk, are you a High School or College English teacher by any chance? That was one hell of a history of the word. Thanks for the reminder that Latrell Spreewell designed those. I watched his MTV cribs show again and drooled over his showroom (again). And yes, living in the ghetto, ghetto rims still are the 100+ spoked 13-14" gold or silver rims with giant 3 spoked knockoffs and little whitewalled tires. Commonly seen on 'pimpmobiles'. We have 3 of them right around me. Gotta love Poughkeepsie.
