- This word is the male equivalent of the word “bimbo.” This word is frequently used in conversations over social media and in text messages. What’s interesting about “himbo” as opposed to “bimbo” is that the word is almost always used in a joking or a non-serious way. Many women find the word “bimbo” to be offensive. Perhaps the frequent non-serious use of “himbo” is an effort to diminish the offensiveness/power of “bimbo.”
