Jings. In what world does anything being fun become 'literally pornography'...

It's becoming annoyingly common ("earth porn" for pictures of nature, etc). Your use of "Jings" however has brightened up my day. Crivvens!

Indeed, but that is (still) surely 'figuratively porn'. Call me a traditionalist, but 'literally porn' is for getting people turned on sexually.

That kind of wording has been polluted, as opposed to Jings, which I've literally heard for the first time.
