Shellacking of covers has been advocated by some librarians, but it is doubtful if it pays.
A "shellacking" is an especially bad defeat.
Worth a laugh, maybe, but also churlish, especially given the shellacking his party took just a few months ago.
I hasten to add it's also a well-deserved shellacking for all the pessimistic keyboard pundits of just a few weeks ago.
Be careful out there - enjoy the fresh shellacking of white.
