"Scuzzcrack" & "Pimpmobile"

[Jonathan Lighter]

No, no, no. I imagine Wilson merely disparaging someone else's pimpmobile. I imagine the '64s were more conservative than later models, though.

I think, that rather than saying he owned the word "pimpmobile", he was
saying he _owned_ a pimpmobile. My mental picture of Wilson is now one
of the "Huggy Bear"/Antonio Fargas sort, or maybe the "gentleman of
leisure" played by Garret Morris in the SNL sketch, "Fred Garvin, Male
Prostitute".

Wilson is truly a renaissance man.
