Put the pimp hand on...

I heard this phrase in a movie, Barbershop. (Funny movie, must see.) One character was telling another how to win a woman. Let her know that you'd put the "pimp hand on Jesus" if he was bothering her. That's a paraphrase since I didn't have a notebook with me in the movies.

Internet is a wonderful thing. While I was searching for "Barbershop" online, I found an unrelated Barbershop Movie Review. These guys give a scissors up, down or sideways to movies. www.93950.com/ barber/about.htm

Could "The pimp hand" refer to "bitch slapping" someone as many pimps do on television and in the movies?
This is my guess, but not knowing any pimp daddies myself, I couldn't validate.

That's how I took it. The pimp either keeping his "employees" or unruly customers in line.
