To tickle your funny bone....

Courtesy of The New York Time's Book Review section comes a literary term used in reference to sea-faring type novels a la Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey books and the Horatio Hornblower saga:

waistcoat-ripper.

Heheheeee!

This was in a small paragraph about a contest at Book Ninja for repackaging books. Some of the "new" covers that don't at all reflect the book's actual contents are pretty hilarious! Take a look.
