Sign in to savethumb|Paris Hilton claims to maintain a "bimbo" image Bimbo is slang for a conventionally attractive, sexualized dim-witted woman. The term was originally used in the United States as early as 1919 for an unintelligent or brutish man. As of the early 21st century, the "stereotypical bimbo" appearance became akin to that of a physically attractive woman. It is commonly employed to characterize women who are blonde, have curvaceous physiques, wear large amounts of makeup, and dress in revealing attire while being associated with "the dumb blonde" stereotype.

==History== The word bimbo derives from the Italian bimbo, a masculine-gender term that means "little or baby boy" or "young (male) child" (the feminine form of the Italian word is bimba). Use of this term began in the United States as early as 1919, and was a slang word used to describe an unintelligent or brutish man.
