The word "bling" refers to any unnecessary accumulation of metal or jewellery which impresses the simple-minded. Examples of bling-related activity include: driving a car with shiny platinum rims, arriving at a movie premiere in a hat made of glittering diamonds, or pointing at a big block of gold and cooing away for hours on end like an unforgivable moron whose mere existence ultimately cheapens us all. Bling is the single most shallow, boring and wilfully superficial cultural phenomenon ever to excite humankind, which is saying something for a species already hooked on internet poker.

In recent months, collective guilt over the planet's future and the disparity of global wealth have exerted a cooling effect on bling's popularity, although genuine justice will never be achieved until everyone responsible for promoting, propagating, passively approving of, or even being ironically amused by any and all aspects of bling culture has been hunted down and jailed for a minimum of 37 years in a maximum security prison with no carpets, hot water or bog roll.
See that blinging car over there, the one with the spinning rims? I bet the driver is a tosser.

Bling today:

1. Any shiny thing which distracts morons such as rappers.

2. Often takes the form of jewellery, may be expensive but is commonly cheap, used to give the impression of wealth. Adored by Chav's.

3. Gaudy over the top hideous and wholly unneccessary.
Example 1,
Rapper: Check my bling 22's yo'
Me: wow there hideous, get some taste.
Rapper:..........(distracted ny own relfection in chrome)

Flash and sparkle; glamour. The sound that goes along with the cartoon gleam of a pretty-boy's teeth.
All bling, no thing.
