Revision as of 12:47, 16 April 2006 by Weregerbil (talk | contribs) (Revert to revision 48132355 using popups)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Pr0n or pron is Leet slang for pornography.
This deliberately inaccurate spelling/pronunciation for "porn" is sometimes used in legitimate communications (such as email discussion groups, Usenet, chat rooms, and Internet web pages) to circumvent language and content filters - which might result in messages being rejected as offensive or flagged as spam - and to prevent search engines from associating them with pornography - which might result in unwelcome traffic. It has subsequently become one of the most widely used examples of 1337 speak (leet speak). Pr0n is also sometimes spelled backwards to further obscure the meaning to potential uninformed readers.
It can also refer to ASCII art depicting pornographic images.
