Johnny Browncoat's definitions

pimping

The act of singling out one person of the group and testing their knowledge by asking them a series of intense, difficult questions in front of everyone.

Pimping the interns and medical students was a given during rounds.

"They know nothing of Natural Philosophy, these pin-heads. Drunkards, sloths, their bellies filled with Mead and Ale. O that I might see them pimped!"
