Himbo is an entry in OED-Additiions Series with earliest quote 1988!



Also an entry in Longman Register of New Words (Vol. 2, c. 1990) and in Oxford

Dictionary of New Words (c. 1991).



This strikes me as one of those terms that John Algeo would call a "stunt

word" rather than a neologism of some duration. Time will tell!
