Re: bling bling (Was RE: lord of the rhymes)

Yesterday I was at Walmart walking through the toy section towards the tools and saw a collection of toys that were just wheels - no car attached, just shiny chrome wheels about 3 inches across.  It said "Collect all 8 of them!"  I can't for the life of me figure out why any child would want just a wheel.

  I'm really not the person to be asking, but basically it means "fancy
  looking and probably expensive".

  It's also so overused that it's a joke now to say it. I laughed my ass off
  when I saw that Hot Wheels even makes a set of cars called Blings now. And
  they even trademarked the name!
