Pornology 1032: Intro to Literacy, Verbal Quality, and Naming Schemes in Pornography - Essay #2

In the porno knock-offs of popular movies, the title of the movie is always slightly altered to grant it sexual connotations. Like "Midsummer's Night Cream" or "Saving Ryan's Privates".

For the hardcore version of "Grease", what's the title?

"Greased"? Is that enough? Does it get the point across? Or do we need more?
"Greased Up"?
"Grease Down"?

In part one, describe how you would name a pornographic version of "Grease" and why. Cite examples. Answers should show an understanding of ero-linguistics, marketing, industry tradition, copyright, and techniques for genre-transformation.

In part two, list character names, scenes, lines, songs from the original and describe how they would best be translated into a pornographic context with extra attention to dialogue.

For extra credit, describe the general issues and rewards with the creation of either A) pornographic versions of pre-existing movies/plays or B) a musical pornographic film.
