I’ll give you some of this bling bling if you never use bling bling in a sentence.

Translation: Use the King’s English (or something close to it) and I will reward you with jewlery.

The single “bling” was used in last night’s episode of _Las Vegas_ to describe a particularly expensive watch that someone received as a gift. I thought it sounded pretty stupid.

Sentence I really used on someone as I was looking at their humongous engagement ring, which I then had to explain.

“Wow look at that bling bling.”

Everyone’s a comedian. SD takes forever to load up, and I think the reason is that 1/2 the replies are supposedly witty replies. If people just posted serious replies I think SD would be much faster. Thanks for all those who posted a serious answer.

I think the singular “bling” would be the noun, while “bling bling” would be a verb.

Noun example: “Yo, check out my bling!” Your friend said to you as he displayed his platinum and diamond watch.

Verb example: “Yo, look at your watch go bling bling!” You say to your friend as the light catches his platinum and diamond watch.

Well, geez, if you’re going to complain about wasted bandwidth, one might reply that you could find dozens of previous threads that already address your question. Your thread is therfore redundant, and is slowing down the SD. So lighten up.

And secondly, how can you expect a thread about “bling bling” to remain serious? It’s a silly phrase.

From [Urban Dictionary](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bling+bling): verb, adjective and noun.

Damn Johnny, you sure be bling-blinging it tonight!

Dust Puppy sure has some bling bling lights.

Ooooh look at that girl she’s turnin all the boys heads… Lisa got that bling bling goin on.

(And many more examples on the same site.)
