Sir, Centurii-chan already covers history as anime bimbos, please read the directory.
Actually, bimba is the feminine version of bimbo. The words originate in Italian.
Hmmm, you're telling me bimbo is masculine :)
Yes, it's Italian for little boy. Italians started calling men little boys to insult their intelligence. Immigrants brought the slang to America. And Americans are so misogynist, they started using the word to call women stupid, and did it so often they forgot that the word could even apply to men and had to invent a special male version, himbo.
Just because the word originates in Italian doesn't make that the correct usage in English. No one calls female bimbos "bimba" in English.
