Shrimping

A word used by locals of Woodhaven, NY. The term is used to express two euphemistic meanings not normal to is regular definition. 1. The act of surfing the Internet for new pornography. 2. The act of conducting a form of self gratification while watching pornography. The creation of the term comes from the need to use normal friendly words while discussing taboo subjects while in public. The derivation of the term "shrimping" comes from the use of the word Prawn to mean Porn. Prawn, though it may have been used this way by many other people, its popularity had increased after the creation of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, in which the protagonist of the game had to visit a location known as Prawn Island. Incidentally, the number one business on Prawn Island was a Porn Studio. The use of the word Prawn to mean porn, comes from the Internet lingo colloquialism to misspell the word Porn by reversing the center letters and replacing the o with a zero. "Pr0n".
