  • A.C Spectorsky (1910-1972) was the books editor for Playboy during its heyday as a pseudo intellectual journal. He used the phrase "aptly yclept" once a month. After a quick trip to the Funk and Wagnalls, Playboy wannabes sprinkled it in their conversation.

    His full name was "Auguste Comet Spectorsky"
