What is what does pimp mean?

The term "pimp" refers to a person who manages and promotes the prostitution of other people, often for their own financial gain. Pimps may provide the women with housing, clothing, drugs, and protection, but often exploit them and subject them to physical and emotional abuse. The term "pimp" is often used derogatorily to refer to someone who treats others exploitative and is not solely reserved for those in the sex industry.
