there's a pile of "X porn" exx, and it's in the OED.  i haven't been
collecting them, but it's another type of what i've called
"snowclonelet composites":.  so far i have files on X fag, X queen, X
rage, X virgin, X whore.  (ack, i don't seem to have posted on this
yet, though i have correspondence on it.  what can i say?  i am many
thousands of postings behind.)

in any case, one to add.
