* These guys tend to beat the “sex workers are objects” theme into the ground. She would be a 6 on a normal scale, 8 on the sw one.” This ratings system was used to indicate the differences between prostitutes and women not involved in the sex trade, as in the following post from the Chicago forum: “This time I come across a very nice wsw. In addition to the term mileage, johns also utilized a streetwalker scale to rate prostitutes’ appearances on a scale from 1 to 10. Predictably, the way mongers rate sex workers is dehumanizing-they require a different scale than “normal” people: * An “8” on the “streetwalker scale” is a “6” on the “normal” scale. The use of a term like mileage that is typically used for automobiles is demonstrative of the perception that sex workers are offering a service. Specifically, johns would also use the term mileage to refer to women whose appearances reflected the physical and emotional toll that sex work takes on prostitutes. * Other fun terms that treat people like objects: On the forums, skinny sex workers are “spinners” older sex workers have got “mileage”:įor example, some johns used the term spinner to refer a petite female, “a girl who is so tiny in proportion that you can put her on top of your bone and “spin” her like a top.” Posters would also use a letter to denote the race of the sex worker, including WSW for white BSW for black and LSW, HSW, or MSW for Hispanic. For example, posters used the term streetwalker or SW to describe a prostitute who works the streets looking for clients. At the same time, these terms treat sex workers as items, rather than individual human beings. This language may be perceived as respectful and a way to neutralize the negative perspectives of their practices, mirroring their use of terms such as mongering or hobbying. In place of derogatory terms for people, mongers used derogatory terms for objects, often referring to sex workers by their make, model, and build: According to the study, forum users shied away from calling sex workers “hookers,” “hos,” or even “prostitute.” Aww, how sweet. * “Mongers” tend to avoid offensive terms for prostitutes. Thus, active involvement in both the sex trade and online resources played an important role in indicating status among johns across the forums. I don’t need to know details (if you are worried about LE), only about ones that are half-way reliable.” Asking for assistance from more senior or experienced members in this fashion could increase the likelihood of information sharing. For example, jester from the Atlanta forum posted a question seeking information about escorts: “I was looking for recommendations about agencies from pooners who have used them. This term was meant as a sign of respect and status and was used to identify those with clout in the forums. Mongers who were very involved in discussion forums and review boards were often referred to as a pooner. If someone calls you a “pooner,” that means you’ve achieved online prostitution forum street cred. It is simply an interest or pastime that they enjoy. Thus, the terms used to describe the customers of prostitutes reflect the notion that the customers find nothing wrong in paying for sex. Online, johns prefer to refer to themselves as “mongers,” “trollers,” or “hobbyists.” According to the study:įor example, a user in the Inglewood forum described a successful night identifying and soliciting several prostitutes and closed by writing, “I cant wait to monger again like the sadistic one that I am.” Another Inglewood poster wrote, “Saturday morning, 10:30 am, and it was time for this dedicated hobbyist to pursue another adventure.”. * First off: Don’t call them “johns.” On the online forums studied by Blevins and Holt, terms like “john” and “trick” were considered derogatory to prostitution enthusiasts. Here’s what they discovered about the language of johns: Holt, examines the “argot,” or coded language, of the prostitution enthusiast’s “virtual subculture” in order to discern what these communication strategies indicate about the men who engage in-and report on-prostitution. The study, conducted by researchers Kristie R. Now, a study in this month’s Journal of Contemporary Ethnography has attempted to decipher these sex codes for real for real. My pick for the most offensive code-word? “CCL.” That means that your sex worker of choice has got the “Concentration Camp Look.” The code ranges from straight acronym ( BBBJ is “Bareback Blow Job”) to schoolyard joke ( Ed Zachary Disease is code for “A woman with an unattractive face”). On the Internet, dudes who pay women to have sex with them communicate in an absurd code in the hopes of eluding law enforcement officers (that’s “LEOs” to them). This summer, I discovered the many ridiculous sexual euphemisms employed by johns who frequent online prostitution forums. Whoops! There was an error and we couldn't process your subscription.

Check out our picks of the top 10 yellow shades. That makes it even better to see it on a Mustang. Yellow is one of the least common colors to see on a car. Here’s our first look at the blue color option. What is Ford’s new blue color called?Ītlas Blue Metallic The all-new, 2022 Ford F-150 adds just one new color to its roster: Atlas Blue Metallic. Grabber green is a solid shade green as found on the Boss Mustangs and other Ford classics. Since Grabber Blue is such a unique color for cars, many often wonder where the color came from. These colors were used mainly during the years of 1969 to 1989 sparingly on models such as the Ford Mustang, the Pinto, the Diamond truck, the Ford truck, the Reo truck and the Falcon. What were the 3 grabber Colours available when you bought a 1970 Mustang?įor 1969-1970 Shelby Mustangs the colors available were Grabber Yellow, Grabber Blue, Grabber Orange, Grabber Green, and Competition Red (Calypso Coral). This doesn’t need metallic or pearl to grab your attention. This one is a nice example, and if it looks as good upon personal inspection as it seems to look in the listing, then someone has the potential to land for themselves a very nice classic.Grabber Blue is a solid shade blue as found on the Boss Mustangs and other Ford classics. However, when you consider where muscle car performance was destined to head in a few short years from there, the ’69 GT500 really represents the last hurrah of the Ford performance car for more than a decade. There is no arguing that by 1969 the GT500 was more of a Grand Tourer than its hard-core predecessors. Some people believe that with the end of actual vehicle production in 1969, the Shelby GT500 didn’t go out with a bang, but with a whimper. One other interesting little statistic that surrounds this car is that while it is 1-of-416 cars finished in Grabber Green, it is also 1-of-104 finished in the paint and interior trim combination that we see here. Optional equipment fitted to the GT500 includes tinted glass, an AM radio, Sport Deck rear seat, and a tachometer and trip odometer. Otherwise, it doesn’t appear as though there are any rips, tears, or stains to be seen anywhere. If you look closely, it does appear as though the white upholstery is showing some spots of “yellowing,” which is not uncommon. I believe that the carpet might have been replaced, but the rest of it is as it left the factory. The wording in the listing is a bit odd, but I interpret it as saying that the majority of the interior trim in the GT500 is original. The presentation of the engine bay is very tidy, and if this is any indication, then the car should run and drive well. The entire drive-train of the GT500 has been the recipient of a rebuild, while an OEM power steering pump has also been fitted. A 0-60 time of 6 seconds and ¼ mile ET of 14 seconds still demanded a certain amount of respect. Even though the GT500 had stacked on some weight since the first cars saw the light of day, the performance was still pretty impressive. Shifting duties fall to a 3-speed C6 transmission, while a Traction-Lok rear end, power steering, and power brakes are also part of the deal. The Shelby is a numbers-matching car, with a 428ci Cobra Jet engine pumping out 335hp resting under the hood. In reality, it is certainly possible that it is all original, but it is equally possible that it has had at least a partial cosmetic restoration. Interestingly, one thing the owner doesn’t specify is the originality of the panels and paint. The external trim and chrome are all in good condition, while the tinted glass looks to be perfect. The Grabber Green paint has a nice shine and consistency across the car, while panels gaps appear to be tight and consistent (in a 1969 context). The floors and frame look close to perfect, while there are no signs of any rust in the panels. The GT500 is said to have spent the majority of its life in California, and this life has paid dividends with the car’s rust-free status. The owner also does provide a BIN option, which he has set at $79,950. Bidding is now sitting at $47,300, but the reserve hasn’t been met. If it is a car that grabs you, then you will find it located in Lynnwood, Washington, and listed for sale here on eBay. This is one of those cars, and its presentation is extremely impressive. Of the 3,150 cars that actually found homes in 1969, only 416 were finished in Grabber Green. By 1969, sales for the Shelby GT500 had fallen to the point where not all of the ’69 production run could be sold before year’s end.

The parsec is defined as being equal to the length of the adjacent leg (opposite leg being 1 AU) of an extremely elongated imaginary right triangle in space. Please help improve it by merging similar text or removing repeated statements. This section may contain content that is repetitive or redundant of text elsewhere in the article. This corresponds to the small-angle definition of the parsec found in many astronomical references. In August 2015, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) passed Resolution B2 which, as part of the definition of a standardized absolute and apparent bolometric magnitude scale, mentioned an existing explicit definition of the parsec as exactly 648 000 / π au, or approximately 30.856 775 814 913 673 ×10 15 metres (based on the IAU 2012 definition of the astronomical unit). Although parsecs are used for the shorter distances within the Milky Way, multiples of parsecs are required for the larger scales in the universe, including kiloparsecs (kpc) for the more distant objects within and around the Milky Way, megaparsecs (Mpc) for mid-distance galaxies, and gigaparsecs (Gpc) for many quasars and the most distant galaxies. Partly for this reason, it is the unit preferred in astronomy and astrophysics, though the light-year remains prominent in popular science texts and common usage. The word parsec is a portmanteau of "parallax of one second" and was coined by the British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913 to make calculations of astronomical distances from only raw observational data easy for astronomers. Most stars visible to the naked eye are within a few hundred parsecs of the Sun, with the most distant at a few thousand. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 1.3 parsecs (4.2 light-years) from the Sun. The parsec unit is obtained by the use of parallax and trigonometry, and is defined as the distance at which 1 au subtends an angle of one arcsecond ( 1 / 3600 of a degree). 30.9 trillion kilometres (19.2 trillion miles). The parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years or 206,265 astronomical units (au), i.e. For example, if a star is 1,000 light years away from Earth, and astronomer sees the star's light in a telescope, he or she is seeing the star as it was 1,000 years ago because it takes 1,000 years for the star's light to reach the Earth.A parsec is the distance from the Sun to an astronomical object that has a parallax angle of one arcsecond (not to scale) Understanding light years and parsecs can be tricky. It is equal to one billion parsecs! Rewind A parsec is 3.26 light years and takes the angle the object is to the Earth's position into account. Astronomers more often use a unit called a parsec to measure distances in space. Light years, however, are not the largest units to measure distance. The resulting number would be larger than most calculators could display. To find out the actual distance in miles between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy, you could multiply 5.88 trillion by 2.5 million. The nearest galaxy to our Milky Way, however, called the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. It has been determined that Alpha Centauri is 4.22 light years away. For example the nearest star other than the sun to our solar system is called Alpha Centauri. When scientists use light years to describe the distances between objects in space, the actual numerical distances are so vast, they're inconceivable to the human mind. The sun, however, is only 0.00001581 light years from Earth! Why are Light Years Used? Hypothetically, if you were to drive non-stop at 60 miles-per-hour, it would take 177 years to make it to the sun. For example, the sun is over 93,000,000 miles from Earth. If you tried to use them to calculate smaller distances, you'd get very small decimals. With 8,760 hours in a year, a light year is equal to 5.88 trillion miles! Light years are normally only used to calculate huge distances. Since light travels at the speed of 186,282 miles per second, it travels over 670,000,000 miles per hour. It is defined as the distance that light travels in 365.25 days. A light year is a unit designed to measure distances between objects in outer space.
