pimp

pimp v. (by senior medical personnel) to badger a student doctor with medical questions (as a teaching method). Editorial Note: The more common meanings of to pimp are well-defined elsewhere. Etymological Note: The theory posited in the 1997 citation is plausible but it has the ring of being a fanciful reinterpretation of the term’s history. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
