Anyone know the etymology of 'bling bling'? (that is, where did BG get it) A quick web search doesn't pull up anything very useful. I like the apocryphal tale that it came from the sound Mario makes when he gets the gold coins.

Bling bling was prison slang, a warning to fellow inmates that authorities were approaching, and to hide any contraband. In essence, a "head's up." I don't know if that has any relation to the now-mainstream meaning.
