What is bling slang for?
If you’re bling, bling and that means you’re wearing some nice jewelry, probably diamonds. If it’s the real thing, kids might say this man. That’s, yeah, it is like for real, like no doubt, that’s man. The term “bling” was originally used in modern terms by Dana Dane in the rap song “Nightmare” in 1987. At the time, “bling” was simply an ideophone mimicking the sound of a bell, particularly as cartoons at the times relied on the sound of bells to depict light hitting gems, jewelry, and money on-screen.
