I put people who pronounce the “t” in **pestle **in the same category as people who pronounce the “t” in often.
Cecil and Ed in Grant Park!
When the pidgeon eggs fell. 
It’s news to me.
Of course, I AM an old fart and the whole “ghetto/gansta/pimp” culture phenomenon has passed right by me with barely a blip on my radar (other than finding it all really, really stupid).
Well, we may not be hip but at least we make it up in nerdiness.
Not the one.
That, Sir, was well played.
Shoot, now I gotta go check!

Yep it is, only it is spelled Krump! Crunk is a style of music.
I wonder if you can krump to crunk…

Krump…while Crunk at the CAR WASH (clappity-clap thing here)
[/70smoviemeetsmodernslang]
My mind went to two girls one cup.
I need help.
Shrug, I’d thought of a jockstrap covered in rhinestones… or maybe Swaroskis, they’re putting those in everything now. The real things are pretty much equally bad.
I only knew because of one of the “Bring It On” movies: “If we could combine our cheering with your krumping, there’s no way we can lose!” :o
It’s rather obvious from the pictures that “pimp cups” haven’t existed for very long, and will very likely be forgotten in a few years.
So… Pimp cups are what drunken frat boys and homeless people pee in when they are on the move? Do I have that right?
About 40 years ago, an archetypical example if kitsch was the Venus de Milo with a clock in her stomach. As kitsch, you didn’t simply laugh at it but rather you laughed at the people who liked it. * “Hey - it’s classy…and functional! What more could ya want?"* Laughing at kitsch was about laughing at pretension.
Back then, Black people were socially invisible. They could be as pretentious as anyone, but while it was enlightened to laugh at middle-class white squares, it was very unenlightened to laugh at Black people. Their excesses of bad taste: Courvoisier drunk from jelly jars; Cadillacs, etc, were seen as pathetic bids to live beyond their victimization.
Now, when what used to be called kitsch is brought up, there’s still the stupid middle-class with their McMansions and their framed posters from the mall art store on display to show what hilariously bad taste they have. But more often than not, what’s gets the laughs comes out of the 'hood: bling; dental grills; spinner; the contents of hotghettomess.com, etc.
I honestly don’t know if this is a good thing or not.
Word Up!
But…the link says that the cup is plastic and you shouldn’t drink out of it…So it just sits around and looks…interesting?
Never heard of 'em.
I’d not heard of it, and heres another thing – since when are “pimp”-related bits of imagery and accessories hip? This is like, 1997-era pop culture here!
So what you are saying is that the winners of So You Think You Can Dance get cash for crunkers?
