Words

The overuse of the word 'pimp' as a verb is starting to annoy me. Most of it in fandom, talking about fic/icons/vids or whatever, but I'm seeing it a bit in Manifest circles too and it just bugs me.

'Promote' is a perfectly good word. So is 'plug'. Why use 'pimp' with all the (I would think) negative connotations that word has?
