Prawn

A word used by locals of Woodhaven, NY when referring to pornography. 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 derivation of the use of the word Prawn, comes from the Internet lingo colloquialism to misspell the word Porn by reversing the center letters and replacing the o with a zero. "Pr0n". Use of the term "Prawn" has lead to the creation of a euphemistic meaning of the word "Shrimping". Shrimping: the act of watching porn while conducting a form of self gratification. Also: the act of surfing the web for new pornographic material.
