In modern times, most people know this word indirectly from Helen Bannerman's "The Story of Little Black Sambo", not directly from slave references as several have incorrectly mentioned here. It is controversial because some people feel it was racially motivated.

Lesbians you meet at Sams Club... not to be confused with HoDos (lesbians you meet at Home Depot, Gymbos (lesbians you meet at the gym), DoPos (lesbians you meet at the dog park), Drumbos (lesbians you meet in a drum circle), or Dildos (lesbians who "pack").

An international man of mystery. Where is he from? Nobody knows. How many languages does he speak? Impossible to count them all. He's a modern nomad--you never know when or where you'll cross paths. But one thing is certain, the attraction will be instantaneous. Tall, dark, handsome, and smart as a whip; be mindful of your drooling. And as for matters of the heart, there too he is skilled. A few kind words, a smile, and that gaze, and you'll want to tell him every secret you've ever kept. He's a rare bird, this one. Should you ever experience him firsthand, count yourself one lucky girl!
Me: "I just had the strangest dream...I could've sworn I met a Sambo. But that's impossible. Sambos are urban legend..."
Sambo: "Everything is going to be okay. You've just fainted..."

Sambo was a lazy coon,
who went to slepp in the afternoon,
so tired was he,
Oh! So tired was he,
he was lying on his back when along came a bee,
a fucking great bumble bee etc.
