Imagine taking courses to write effective headlines and then see people who don’t know shit trying to be snarky online.
Guys. For the billionth time. Headlines need to give as much relevant details as possible while still being short enough to be read at a glance or almost, and get people to read the rest. Unless the article is about someone well-known enough that we can safely assume the reader will recognize them, first names do not go in headlines.
It is not about refusing to write the names of minorities in headlines. It is literally the first thing you’re taught when it comes to writing them.
On the other hand, just look how much funnier headlines could be if we adopted this policy
Seriously, do people think the headline is literally all that exists? There’s a whole article underneath it, you know!
Small town culture is knowing that there are Old Folks with strange nicknames but never knowing the stories behind them.
Of course, I made the mistake of asking why everyone calls this one guy Brickaday and it turns out that he worked at a brickyard for 40 years, stealing exactly one brick every day and making no particular efforts to conceal the theft. Nobody thought anything of it until years later he was discovered to have built three houses.
His boss is said to have shrugged and made some remarks about the importance of coming up with a plan and sticking to it.
I‘m trying to arrange my face into an appropriate approximation of silent bafflement and failing miserably.
This was me! I actually misread the prompt (I read eating my self, not eating by myself) but I was so glad it made @therealjacksepticeye laugh! Again, this for the high class monster!
I love the phrase “what the entire fuck” because it implies that there exists some scenario that warrants only a “what the partial fuck”.
Similarly “what the actual fuck,” implying “what the figurative fuck” or “what the imaginary fuck”.
“What the actual fuck” is an interesting one because “actual” has so many distinct shades of meaning.
“Entire” generally means “whole” or “complete”, but depending on the particular context, “actual” can denote any or all of “real”, “literal”, “concrete”, “truthful”, “grounded” or “factual”.
Thus, when deriving the contrastive phrase, in addition to “what the imaginary fuck” and “what the figurative fuck”, we could also reasonably arrive at “what the hypothetical fuck”, “what the fraudulent fuck”, “what the fanciful fuck” or “what the counterfactual fuck”.
Language is fun!
Personally, I find “what the fucking fuck” to be both concise and emphatic.
That it is, though it’s also fascinating in its implications, as the obvious complement of “what the fucking fuck” is “what the abstinent fuck”.
Which is a… puzzling notion, at best.
Okay, but “what the celibate fuck” would be really satisfying to say, swear-wise.
Anyways imagine Wreckers making stops at Kimia to pick up the Newest and Latest™ in weapons and equipment and every time, while the rest of them just flirt with pretty scientists, Whirl’s just trying to score a date with the pretty weapons engineer who’s covered in grease and burns.
Roadbuster approaches handsome stud Chromedome, is immediately harassed and threatened by a data stick.
