Ice = diamonds. (That one, at least, I know.)
Honeyplease, pimp cane.
Crunk is something you drink now? I thought it was a state.
Next time she brings it up, ask her if she’s ever seen one SELL for that much.
From the article I linked to:
*
Rappers like Ludacris, Juvenile, and Nelly delight in custom-blinged goblets from Chicago-based Deborah Harrison (a.k.a. Debbie the Glass Lady), who crafts the vessels — some for upwards of $1,000 — from glass, diamonds, crystals, gems, platinum, and 24-karat gold.

Granted, she couldn’t make one like that “in about 20 minutes for under $20”.
I’d rather stay sober.
Not even if it was filled with a fine single malt…
liquor?
I’m 21, and never heard of it.
I would never sully The Macallan by bringing the bottle into the same room as one of those…things.
I never heard of it before, either - but then, I think I got my fuddy-duddy card in the mid 1990’s.
I hadn’t heard of them either but heck, I’ve never been hip. Do the kids still say “hip” these days?
Although I did envision pretty much what they would be so maybe there is some hope for me. Far out!
I knew about pimp cups. Because I watch Girls Next Door on E!
Nevermind what that says about me. I’m pushing 40, for the record.
Odd what you learn at work. I only know about these because one of my customers at the fabric store was planning to make some, and came in looking for rhinestones. I don’t remember if she actually bought some or not, but she didn’t seem to be fazed by the $.65/inch price tag, even though she needed yards of the things. As I recall, she was making pimp cups for some kind of banquet.
Never heard of them. But now, I want one – or at least, a blinged-out goblet.
I want a flagon with a dragon. Or a vessel with a pestle.

I have never heard the term pimp cup, but I knew instantly that that was the term that stupid would come up with to describe a chalice.
Also, like 7 years ago, the Man Show had a funny sketch where the boys hung out with Bishop Don Magic Juan. Adam Carolla asked, while in Don’s '70s Cadillac, if he ever got busted for driving with an open chalice.
hijack: I saw Julie & Julia and they refer to her mortar and “pess-uhl” :eek: Have I been saying pestuhl like a moron all these years?! But both pronunciations are in the dictionary–whew.
I have never heard of a pimp cup.
Are these pimp cups? Maybe I’ve had one all this time and didn’t know it.
I’ve never heard the term either, and if that student saw one of those things for sale at $1,200, I’m guessing it had some gold and/or diamonds attached.
And even at that there’s no telling how long the thing has been sitting there.
Yep. Me, too.
I’d never heard of it and could have happily lived my whole life without knowing.
Yes as in grandpa broke his hip walking down the hall.
I think Dusted Dixies would be a cooler name. Glittered Dixie cups people.
