Where does this saying come from? I know there's a TV show by the name, and basically the phrase means to do up, make better, improve, adorn, etc.
So how/why does the word 'pimp' come into it...?
Surely, given what the phrase means, the word people are after is 'primp', as in 'primp and preen'.
Just something that has been bothering me recently.
