Scenery

Aka nudes. Often used while sending nudes as a code word with a certain girl or boy you like.

Scenery Gorn

Wherever you walk here it is hunks of buildings standing up without roofs or sides, and people living in them. Except the Ghetto, where it is just a great plain of bricks, with twisted beds, and bath tubs and sofas, pictures in frames, trunks, millions of things sticking out among the bricks. I can't understand how it could have been done...It is something so vicious I can't believe it.
— John Vachon, on Warsaw, 1946. Quoted in Savage Continent by Keith Lowe.

Keep in mind that telling whether a work is using Scenery Gorn and Scenery Porn can sometimes be confusing. Especially in settings where the abandoned ruins have long since been reclaimed by the forces of nature.

chew the scenery

What people like Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman and William Shatner do for a living.

Lloyd: "Dude, did you see Gary Oldman in Dracula?"

Brett: "Yea, he didn't half chew the scenery. Almost as much as William Shatner in Star Trek."

Lloyd: "Or Johnny Depp in just about any of his films."

Scenedie

A person that can not decide whether they are scene or indie.

Usually someone that mixes the two looks in effort to fit into multiple social crowds.
Can also be someone that can't decide fashion trends and mixes and matches multiple scene/indie looks to create their "look".

Mostly seen wearing Band shirts, vans,skinnys, flanny shirts and beanies.

Have you seen Tim lately I think he is having a serious case of fashion OCD he's starting to look scenedie.
