Questionable loan words, highly technical terms, and Scots all appear to be in the dictionary. Happy hunting

I haven't had to write in a news style too often, but headlines (from AP guidelines at least) are meant to stand entirely on their own and without context.

While I agree that language can and should change, the use of hyperbole, slang, or cliches in a headline can negatively impact the clarity of the headline, which is most important.

Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling "fresh" meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?

We live in very different places. (Not sarcasm, this has happened to me about a dozen times)

I hope it's a callback to this gem:

He is the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40k
