Another example of negative words being colloquially flipped on their heads for positive use. It's a strange phenomenon, but I'd say it's a bad one. And by bad I mean good. ;-)

I used to think that this word was an insult.. because if you take it at face value, it really is kind of wretched. So in Jr. high, I went up to this guy that used to give me a hard time and told him he was a pimp. He went all Cheshire cat on me and asked me to say it again. Or not..
