Why do people say "porno"? Why add another syllable? Is it to show that you are too cool for computer pr0n?

Hmmm....interesting question. I think its because a porno is more like a full length movie on VHS or DVD etc, whereas pr0n is all the other stuff.

i usually think of scampi as being more like a full length shellfish, where as prawns are all the other stuff.

porno = short for pornography
porn = shorter term for pornography
doesn't make that much of a difference.

What's the difference between prawns and scampi?
frshwater (prawns) saltwater(shrimp scampi)

What do you call shrimp which reside in an estuary, like the Chesapeake?

Well I know for sure that tidepool prawns are called prawns, so I believe the same naming convention applies within an estuary.
