In Tacoma, there’s a fairly well-known street preacher (who usually hangs out at the mall) who has a different colored pimp suit for every day of the week. Mall policy doesn’t allow him to walk up to people and start evangelizing to them, so he wears the suits so people will initiate conversations with him. He also shopped at the grocery store I worked at in Tacoma before I transferred to a location closer to home, and I’d rate him “mostly harmless”.
A Project Management Professional (PMP) is something entirely different, but when I see those initials I can’t help but see “PIMP”.
And the test to pass is notoriously harder to pass than the average certification, so people legitimately describe it as “not being easy”.
it may not easy but it is necessary.
Wearing all of the flashy jewelry and ostentatious furs and whatnot certainly is useful as far as helping a pimp project an image of wealth and status, but in one sense it’s actually quite practical. If the pimp is arrested, the police will happily confiscate any cash that he has on him, but not whatever he’s wearing. He can then have one of his associates head on down to the nearest pawn shop with some of his valuables and get bail money.
