Sexploitation Noir

a phrase coined by New York Times contributor, Richard Perez, in describing a dark subgenre of sexploitation, often exemplified by the BDSM inclined so-called "sleaze" paperbacks or pulps of the 1960s and the stag-like "roughies" or violence inclined pre-porn "adult" films and morality tales (also known as "cautionary tales"), which include the work of Russ Meyer ("Lorna," "Mudhoney"), Herschel Gordon Lewis ("Scum of The Earth"), producer David F. Friedman ("The Defilers," "A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine," "A Sweet Sickness"), Mike and Roberta Findlay ("Touch of Her Flesh") and current neo-sexploitation films and books like "Run Bitch, Run" and Perez's own, "Permanent Obscurity: Or A Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography, and Death."

Sexploitation noir or the psychosexual black and white grindhouse feature films dominated 42nd Street or "the Deuce" before the arrival of XXX.

pseudo-noir

The culture and practice of pretending to be dark, scary, or mysterious. These people are often very much unlike what they attempt to be, and are, in fact, friendly, intelligent people who have clung to a stereotype that suits them. See: pseudo-punk, pseudo-goth, and emo.

1>My dear sweet lord. Johnny used to be so friendly. Now all he does is sit at the back of the cafe in his pseudo-noir clothes and whine about everything.

2>Wanna go over and say hi?

1>No... just, no. That whiny b-tard can be alone if he can't accept who and what he really is. =p

L.A Noire

L.A Noire is a detective and crime game from Rockstar and Team Bondi where you play as Cole Phelps, residential Badass, as he cleans up the streets of 1940s Los Angeles.

It takes a step away from the wild action in GTA and Red Dead and brings the plot to the other side of the spectrum; a cop.

Dude 1: God, I love L.A Noire. It's the most badass game ever.

Dude 2: Ain't it a rip-off of that L.A Confidential?

Dude 1: Don't insult me.

Dude 2: Make me not insult you.

Dude 1: Let's settle this. STARING CONTEST. GO!!!!!!!!!!

Penor Noir

Fancy slang for black penis. Commonly used by connoisseurs.

Anthony was all over the Penor Noir last night. He said it had a complex aroma, slightly heavy on the palate with notes of peppercorn and dingleberry. It paired well with Fromunda Cheese. I asked specifics and he said it reminded him of his favorite vintage of Penor Jamal
