Yeah, I was wavering, but now I think I'm -1, too.  In particular, I
suspect that "pimp" would be far more likely to bother women.  There
don't seem to be many women on python-dev; perhaps we should ask on
c.l.py.

OTOH, I disagree with Terry about pimp == rapist, but that's a debate
for another forum.
