Traditionally, “bimbo” was a rude slang word used to describe someone — usually a woman — as attractive but unintelligent. But in modern internet culture, especially on TikTok, the meaning has shifted.
Today, “bimbo” can mean:
- Someone who’s pretty, fun, carefree, and unbothered
- A person who embraces playful, feminine, or ditzy vibes
- A self-owned label for people who don’t take life too seriously
- An aesthetic or identity (e.g., “bimbocore”)
It’s still sometimes used as an insult, but younger users often use it in a humorous, affectionate, or empowering way.
Example:
“Ugh, I forgot my keys again 😭 I’m such a bimbo.”
In short: Bimbo = pretty + silly vibes = playful or insulting depending on context.
