A dumb or naive man, who, despite looking like an asshole Chad, is actually sweet, respectful, and kind. Typically large, beefy, and relatively handsome, but friendly. Gentle giants, if you will. Perhaps the best example of a himbo is Kronk, from The Emperor’s New Groove. He is large, strong, and stupid, but extremely kind and respectful to everyone. He is also incredibly innocent and unaware of many events happening around him, as most himbos are.
Emily: l’m going through a breakup right now, sorry I’m so emotional. I just really need someone to talk to.
Amelia: You should go to Steve. He really helped when John cheated on me.

Emily: Steve? Ugh, he’s such a himbo.
Amelia: My point exactly.

An attractive man, often very buff or fit, that is not particularly smart or bright but often tries to be respectful, particularly to women.

e.g JFK from Clone High
He's so attractive, but not super smart, is he? Himbo energy.
Himbo by vibesx November 15, 2020
A man who generally is stupid, but tries hard to be a respectful man.

Like Fred from Scooby Doo.

See bimbo
“Do you support women’s suffrage?”
“No because women shouldn’t suffer!”

“You’re such a himbo.”

Think bimbo, but actually better.

He's a little slow, but he's trying his best. Big, beefy, almost always has a nice ass and drinks respect women juice. Most of the time the only thing playing in his brain is elevator music.
Just don't make him think to hard and you should be good.
Some iconic himbos include Thor, Kronk and arguably the original himbo himself, Hercules.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
