I refuse to give any clicks to any headlines that use the word slammed or any derivative or synonym thereof
Unless it's a wrestling news website
Or if it's followed by welcoming you to the jam
Or an article about doors.
Maybe wrestling news sites should steal political news sites headlines.
"Wrestler A CRITICISED for using unsportsmanlike move on Wrestler B"
You don't like your headlines reading like a bop-it toy?
BOP TED CRUZ!
SLAM TED CRUZ!
SH**T TED CRUZ! (in the face)
SHART TED CRUZ!
Why is that?
Have you personally slammed someone?
Have you met anyone who has?
What did it look like?
That's between me and my only fans.
I have actually met a couple pro wrestlers
Pretty fricken gnarly dude
It happened once in nineteen ninety eight.
I think I remember that. Wasn't there a table involved?
They're mistaken. It was actually a Space Jam, and it was '96.
It was definitely an event for all Mankind.
You know what "slammed" metaphorically means, here.
But it carries no weight when everyone's "slamming" everything in every headline. Maybe be less clickbait and more informative.
I look forward to the day someone uses this headline and I open the article to see somebody actually get chokeslammed
That's a fair take. I don't really agree, as to me, it is just a popular idiom meaning that people reacted negatively to something and either criticized it or mocked it harshly - I don't think it has to carry a lot of weight - but I do think it's perfectly valid that you think it does. That's not, however, what I get from the comment I was responding to, at all.
Greg Gianfirte has. Can we use that in headlines when we talk about him? It's accurate in that case.
