oh bimbo, where art thou?

While having one of our funny little conversations, A Friend asked, "How do you really tell who's a bimbo and who's not? I mean, what's the definition of a bimbo?"

At that time I was stumped (blame it on the elephant-dose medications). My gut feeling was going to just answer him, "Anyone who considers AF kids as real ARTISTS!" - but that would be just too below the belt for A Friend.

While showering just now, I was actually verbalizing in my mind what I think a bimbo is.

Let me paint this picture for you, a 25-year old has been working as a Corporate Comm executive in a listed company for about 6 months, and she does not even know that a subsidiary of that listed company is even AN EXISTING COMPANY. "Hey, xxxx tu company ke apa?"

Note that she said "company ke apa?". Dia ingat persatuan ke, or even Sports Club. Here she was, being in the department that was supposed to be THE resource centre, and not knowing that kind of information. And I'm not taking about an obscure, dormant company, I'm talking about one of the active, more prominent one!

IMHO, a bimbo is someone who is unaware of her surroundings, insensitive to changes, obsessed with herself and things that only matter to her and does not have a desire to learn things other than what she does every day.

Being stupid alone does not make you a bimbo. So A Friend, I hope I have answered your question.

Bimbo in Japanese means "orang miskin". Kikik.

Bimbos are those hot girls you sometimes envied; you wished you're them, but changed your mind once they opened their mouth.
Anatomically, their brain is about 10% of us, kot.
