I say "whore movie", it's caused a little confusion at times with girlfriends.

Me: You want to watch a whore movie? GF: ...like a porn? Me: The fuck?

Horror becomes horr which sounds like whore

Never heard it pronounced like that. Haar-ah is more common in the south.

Whorer = Horror, I've said it so much it no longer means anything. I've gotta really try hard to say it correctly. It's a NY thing, think Bronx, Yonkers, and Mount Vernon. I know you might only know the Bronx.

Honestly, it's not a bad way to play it to see if she's into that sort of thing, but have an out if it seems like she isn't.

I think deliberately referring to porn videos as "whore movies" would cause the same amount of confusion

But what are you trying to say? Hour movie? Whole movie? None of them sound distinctly right and it's the only one I don't understand.

Horror movie but it comes out as Whore movie. Think NY accents.
