Just discovered this while taking the etymology quiz at Etymologic! (thanks, Mighty Red Pen):
Pander, which, to quote the website, means
"to pimp,' or more broadly, to provide base gratification. How did it come to the English language?From Pandarus, who acted as go-between for Troilus and Cressida during the Trojan War (Boccaccio).

I think the show "Pimp My Ride" should have a spin-off called "Pandarus My Ride." Instead of cars being pimped, it would be chariots.
