Urban Dictionary, March 12: Sporno (original) (raw)
'Where sport and porn meet and produce a huge money shot'
Coined by British writer Mark Simpson - who also coined the term 'metrosexual' - in OUT magazine in 2006.
Used to describe the phenomenon of professional male athletes such as David Beckham, Freddie Ljunberg and various naked rugby players, posing naked - or almost naked - and oiled up in homoerotic poses on the side of buses to sell men's briefs and nudie male calendars.
Also used to describe inadvertently, sometimes comically pornographic-seeming snaps of sporting action - usually male team sports where one player appears to be mounting another or giving a blow job.
'Almost everywhere you look, sports, advertising and fashion seem to have jumped into bed to produce a spornographic money shot. Sports stars have become sporno stars. How did this happen? What does it mean? And where can I get hold of a pair of those pants?'
- Mark Simpson, 'The London Times', July 2008

The trashy, lowerslung cousin of the hipster pant, favoured by female fashion victims, often those born without the ability to realistically determine their size. Although there is no agreed max-min amount of bumcrack to be shown, a visable 'brickies grin' is a key factor in determining whether the pant is a member of the bumster family.
