the agency 

The agency is a mysterious entity which was presumably founded in 2018. The first known encounter of the agency was on a Pokemon server where it quickly became a well-known name. The agency is mostly known on the internet but is expanding its presence exponentially. It is said that world champions, popular players and even global organizations are supported by the agency from behind the scenes.

While the main activities of the agency are unknown, there are numerous instances recorded where the agency "provides" its supporters with prosperity. Someone who is recruited by the agency is called an "agent", these agents are known to possess great luck and are bound to be successful in their walk of life. Supporters of the agency are donating to the agency in hope of getting provided with prosperity. Other means of supporting the agency are by buying the extremely rare merchandise, it is said that by simply wearing the merchandise one is blessed with good luck.

Pimping agency 

Pimping agency - staffing or employment agencies that treat you like a dog, make lots of money off of you, and pay you next to nothing in return ... (in my opinion).
A pimping agency treats their workers like dogs. No matter how bad the place is that they send you to work, you have to suck it up, do a good job and not complain. A pimping agency gives you no paid vacation, no paid holidays, no paid sick leave, no benefits. They rake in lots of money from your hard labor and pay you next to nothing. Note: Not every staffing or temporary agency is a pimping agency, just most of them (in my opinion).

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
