| + | '''Mecoptera''' (from the Greek: ''meco-'' = "long", ''ptera-'' = "wings") are an order of insects with about 550 species in nine families worldwide. The Bittacidae, or '''hangingflies''', are a prominent family of elongate insects known for their elaborate mating rituals, in which females choose mates based on the quality of gift prey offered by various males. |

| − | ''pimp named slick backs''' (genitals- long) are an order of [[pimps]]s 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 pimp]]s, 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.
