To pimp something is to make you say "wow."
Example: TV show, "Pimp my Ride".
In this TV show, cars are made to be flashy.
"Pimpin" means cool.
It refers to an easy life.
The slang usage is not used by everybody.
Some people are very offended by the slang.
The offense comes from hating prostitution.
Using the slang seems to say that you like prostitution.
In that sense, they are bad and dirty words.
Using the traditional meaning is not bad and dirty.
However, pimping is dirty and illegal.
I hope this helps.
