Retro Offensive

Something from the past that wasn't offensive then, but all of a sudden is offensive now.

Politicians are making everything retro offensive to further their agendas.

retro recognition

When you re watch an old tv episode or film and recognise someone who you now know as a famous person/character.

Oh my God it's Oberyn Martell in Buffy the vampire slayer, and he looks so young!

Retro recognition can also be pretty much guaranteed by watchingt any old episode of tales from the crypt.

Retro Babe

A drop-dead gorgeous or scorchingly hot woman who looks like she could have stepped right out of a classic Hollywood film or a vintage pin-up. She can be classy, suggesting someone like Lauren Bacall or Audrey Hepburn or (the young!) Katherine Hepburn, or a sexbomb, like Bettie Page or Jayne Mansfield Pamela Green or Sophia Loren. Her vintage beauty and/or sexiness can be that of any period from the 1920s to the mid-60s. Hippie chicks do NOT count, nor do women whose looks, however attractive, suggest a 70s roller disco queen or an 80s music video.

Director Tim Burton's ex-girlfriend Lisa Marie (the actress, NOT Elvis's daughter) was a real retro babe when she played Vampira in ED WOOD. So was Jennifer Connelly back before she got too skinny. Anna Nicole Smith was almost a retro babe, back before she porked out and the media revealed what her intelligence and personality were like.

Retro-mation

An animation style were the animator make his/her animated cartoon emulate silent films of the 1890s-1930s.Or the animated cartoon emulates old film stock from 1940s-1970s.Other forms of Retro-mation may also be made to have a grainy appearance to emulate the classic era of film in Hollywood from the 1930s-1960s. Not all Retro-mation needs to be in black and white but it adds a Nostalgic effect to the cartoon.
This style is very common in Flash Animation.

The Vaudeville cartoons are examples of Retro-mation
