Was in an conversation with TMS a minute ago (okay, probably a little longer then that) and the topic was about female individuals that proclaims to be a bimbo as well as a geek.

Let's break the 2 words down. (With the use of Wikipedia of course.)

The word "bimbo" is a term that emerged in popular English language usage in the early 20th Century to describe an often attractive, yet clumsy woman. Or simply said, dumb.

The usage of this term began in the United States as early as 1919. The 1929 silent film, Desert Nights, describes a cheap female crook as a bimbo.

This word derives from the Italian bimbo, a word of masculine gender that means (male) baby or very young (male) child (its feminine equivalent is bimba). The 50's song "Bimbo", about a toddler, was one of the early hits for the popular American singer Jim Reeves.

Its first usage in English was for stupid men. It now is understood to mean a woman unless modified as male bimbo, himbo, or mimbo.

Some still prefer the explicitly female variant bimbette, which has also entered the American Heritage Dictionary. Others use bimbette for a younger bimbo, because the suffix "-ette" signifies a smaller version as in French or Spanish "-ito/-ita" suffix.

Waaay overload of data, if you ask me.

The word "geek", on the other hand, is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, and so on."

Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included only the definition regarding geek shows.

And I'm kinda drifting off my point.

So, my point is that if you're a bimbo, how the hell can you be a geek (or vias versa)?

Its an oxymoron really.

I mean, if u are "bimbo", you're supposed to ultra dumb, to the extend that you probably won't even know how to blog. So logically, being a bimbo, you can't possibly be "overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, and so on."

Or at least, that should be the case.

So... Well...

I can't really conclude on this. What do you think?
