re: other uses of the word 'pimp'

It seems to me there is some confusion: there is the word 'primp' or 'primping' which was earlier used to mean "Dress or groom with elaborate care" ,,(I actually heard a woman use it about 50 years ago..)

I am guessing that something like a Mondegreen is occurring, and that 'pimp' has sort of slid sideways over the years and that 'primping' has become almost archaic.
