in the publishing business the short tags on the cover , like
"Does Bush Shave"
"See 42 People Killed"
etc
they are called "snipes".
It was an old standard that has probably gone by the wayside in a
less literate generation

Hi all,
What is the correct term for the piece of paper (with all of the
publicity information and photo description) that is affixed to the
reverse of a vintage movie still? I tend to call it a "publicity
blurb" -which I know is not the "official" name...I have heard it
called a "snipe".....but "in the business", so to speak, what is it
really known as?
Thanks,
Diana
