Bim is a dated, low-key slang term for a woman, sitting somewhere in the lineage of words like 'bimbo' without necessarily carrying the same level of loaded baggage. It's terse and casual rather than outright malicious, but it's also not exactly flattering — it tends to reduce the subject to a generic category rather than an individual. You'd mainly encounter it in older slang dictionaries, hardboiled fiction, or period dialogue trying to evoke a certain era's street argot.
The detective novel's narrator kept referring to the client as 'some bim with expensive taste and a lousy alibi.'
