As Urban Dictionary defines “whip”: “When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the whip.
“The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel.
“They then proceeded to use the old term ‘whip’ to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile.”
