Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just curious: where was that? Since I was a child, "Bimbo" meant a dumb, attractive, woman, and implied promiscuity. I heard it most in (Italian) gangster movies, mostly. From what I can tell, the racial slur meaning is used in Germany.

Funny; I lived in Germany for a couple of years and never heard that version, but then, I didn't hang out with the types that would be inclined to teach it to me. I got standard cuss words and some colloquial Bavarian curses.

I haven't heard it since I left elementary school. I only realized later that there were some really racist kids on that school. Also, it was the 80s. It's shocking to me now that I learnt basically all the racist and antisemitic jokes I know during my time at elementary school.

Yeah, me too. And a vast amount of misogynistic stuff. The latter, I suspect, was just bog-standard puberty and oral lore, most of which was crude. But I still remember many limericks.

Apparently it is a term that began with WW2. It's highly regional and not many people use it
