bimbo

Attractive but shallow

Bimbo is a derogatory term for a woman perceived as attractive but unintelligent or vacuous.

The word implies someone who trades on physical appearance rather than intellect, often with connotations of sexual availability.

Though historically applied to men (meaning a foolish fellow), modern usage targets women almost exclusively.

She hated being dismissed as just another bimbo.

The male equivalent, when used, is sometimes *himbo*.
