1998 — To the two mopes who decided to vic him (as in victimize) the guy was just asking for it. — Lee Stringer, Grand Central Winter, Chapter 5, Page 43
2011 — The mope — as a person and as a job — came to rootless, shambling life in 1995, when the porn industry, seeking The Next Big Thing, latched on to the idea of the "extreme." An enterprising, Svengali-like British expatriate, John Bowen, who went by the name John T. Bone, hit upon the idea of an "extreme mega-gangbang" involving his Trilby, Grace Kwek, a tiny Singaporean with the adopted stage name Annabel Chong. ... Of course, finding that many men already in the porn business and willing to work in such a situation could have been potentially difficult, and prohibitively expensive. So the call went out through various sex weeklies and adult magazines for men who thought they had the right stuff for such an endeavor.[1]
