    If it’s not “slam”, it’ll be something else just as bad. Be careful what you wish for, or it might be replaced with “obliterate” or “wreck” or something worse.

    Instead, how about we get news outlets to stop writing ambiguously abbreviated headlines as if they still needed them to fit on a page? “Stud Tires Out” could mean two wildly different things, and you can easily fit a couple more words into the 80% of the screen you’ve filled with ads.
