A '''[[himbo]]''' refers to a physically attractive [[man]] who is unintelligent or airheaded. Otherwise, it can refer to a muscular or physically strong man who is also unintelligent. Typical usage often combines the two.

== Etymology ==
The term 'himbo' originates from the combination of the pronoun "him" and the term "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimbo bimbo]."

== History & Usage ==
While the term 'himbo' itself does not have [[queer]] roots, it is commonly used in queer spaces and [[gay]] subculture.<ref>[https://www.queerty.com/welcome-to-the-hot-land-of-himbos-brawns-without-the-brains-20230921/]</ref> Though it is not unheard of for the term to be used in a derogatory manner, many reclaim it and use it through a positive lens.<ref>[https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/article/himbo-meaning]</ref> A few have said it is ablest to men, but it doesn't have to be seen in that light.
