Get the offline internetmug. The act of pimping over the internet. Although not as effective as actual pimping because you cannot bitch slap. Funds are often exchanged through Paypal (There is the origin of its infamous name)
I was internet pimping Jessica Simpson last night for all her money, but that bitch wouldn't pay so I had to bitch slap her this morning.

Get the Wind Internetmug. see also text talk.
A form of speech popularized by teens and young adults who spend too much time on the internet. This is similar to text talk, however shortened phrases and words commonly used on forums, email, and social media are being said out loud in regular speech. Most commonly referred as an online form of speech, where it only happens in text form when on the internet, but that's not always the case.
