My stupid question of the day

[izzy]

What is "bling bling?"

I keep hearing people talk about bling bling on the radio and TV.

What does it mean, and how did it become part of pop culture?

Money.

Any flashy accessory that costs loads of money... usually jewelry of sorts. All goes back to flaunting you have tons of cash.

I cringe whenever I hear that term.

It seems so outdated already...I wish it'd die and just go away!
