Pimp, Hack, Mod

I'm not sure if these are correct...

PIMP: pimpant smart, sparkish; perh. akin to piper to pipe, formerly also, to excel. Cf. Pipe.] One who provides gratification for the lust of others; a procurer; a pander. --Swift.


HACK : a person, as an artist or writer, who exploits, for money, his or her creative ability or training in the production of dull, unimaginative, and trite work; one who produces banal and mediocre work in the hope of gaining commercial success in the arts: As a painter, he was little more than a hack.


MOD: a person who is in the vanguard in style, dress, etc.
