"Plus-threes"


I found this John O'Hara book - where? Library sale or the Free Book Truck, I forget which. Anyway, it hella sucked. In his intro, O'Hara says "These three stories are novellas because I chose them to be...they could have each been full novels." Thanks G-d for small favors. His dialogue is good, but otherwise one can feel him looking at his watch while he writes, almost. Dig on the Harold Robbins-y cover, though.


Anyway, he describes a character as wearing "plus-threes [italics mine]." What is this? A shorter plus-four? Does Andre 3000 know about this?
