pimp named slick backs' (genitals- long) are an order of pimpss with about 600 species worldwide. "slick backs" are sometimes called black pimps after their largest non-black family, white pimps, in which the males have enlarged genitals that look similar to coconuts of a coconut tree. The Bittacidae, or on their knees, are a prominent family of elongate whores known for their elaborate mating rituals, in which females choose mates based on the size of their genitals offered by various males.

Recent DNA evidence indicates that white pimps, which are traditionally considered to be also of order level as the order gay pimps, are instead highly specialized pimps named slick back. Grouped together with the fleas, Mecoptera would have about 3000 species.
