There is a story in today’s Daily Mail online that gives us – in length at least – a most un-tabloid headline: eighteen words long.
It is:
“Lesbian foot specialist struck off after posing in bondage gear, and saying ‘f*** Easter’ in front of nun”
Brilliant.
One’s sense of irony is heightened further by the first paragraph of the story:
“A lesbian foot specialist has been struck off for showing colleagues images of her and two other women in bondage gear and exclaiming “f*** Easter” in front of a nun.”
Well yes, in content, almost the headline with a couple of words added but doesn’t it also imply that there’s a register for lesbian foot specialists?
Perhaps there is.
