if you say 黄金单身汉,chinese could understand that however the more slang expression is "钻石王老五", that words just for older single man. for example, normally a boy should get married before 28years old. if a guy who haven't get married till 28years old, especially the guy is older than 30 years old, we call this kind of cowboy "钻石王老五"

Hi Cassie- Bling Bling is slang used in hip hop music culture to describe jewelry. Sometimes people in hip hop videos wear big gold chains, have large rings, deng deng. It is often used as one word as well- Bling.
