Looks cool, but WTF is “steampunkish”?

Steampunk is a type of science fiction involving gadgets and machines in the 19th century using technology of that time (i.e. steam power, etc.). Kind of like the old tv show “The Wild Wild West” with Robert Conrad.

Not really sure how “steampunkish” a WW2 Nazi belt buckle gun is, but I think that’s what the author was alluding to here.

The writer should sit down and ask himself why he immediately associated a pistol hidden in a belt buckle with the male member.

A word that has no relation to nazi era stuff, but obviously the author is smitten enough with it that he had to throw it in.

It (Steam punk) is kind of geek version of Victorian era stuff, contraptions and wear with a sort of rube goldberg touch and lots of iron, brass, copper and leather.
