What does the pulp in pulp fiction stand for?

In: Definitions and Word Differences [Edit categories]

Answer:

The pulp in pulp fiction is just that. The cheap untrimmed pulp paper they were printed on. They were inexpensive and typically were horror, science fiction or romance novels and magazines that sold for about 10 cents a copy versus the 25 cents a copy for the shiny slicker magazines.
