Kuwait Newspapers : Catch Phrases
I find it hilarious that there is catch phrase words used by Kuwait
newspapers and journalists. The result is usually hilarious hyperbolic
headlines.
Any criticism for example is always "slammed":
MP slams government
Kuwait slams Israel's inhuman practices
MP Dr Ali Al-Hajri slammed the government's silence towards the statements made by the Minister of Commerce and Industry Ahmed Baqer
Al-Harbi slams commerce minister
Iranian paper slams MoI's Farsi language channel plan
Clerics slam German magazine
MP slams govt's incapability
Officials slammed for frequently travelling on ministry's expense
MP slams govt over disorganized food distribution for Kuwaitis
MP slams education minister
MP Al-Mulaifi slams premier
MP slams Al-Sabeeh
Anything great is always either "hailed", "praised" or deemed a 'success':
Al-Sabeeh meeting hailed
Kuwait reform process hailed
Eight-digit phone system 'success'
WHO praises Kuwait for its efforts to combat smoking
In the cabinet and parliament they only 'grill':
Al-Sabeeh may resign if grilled in parliament
Al-Sabeeh grilling proposal
Move to grill premier
Call for grilling
Al-Hajji among ministers expected to be grilled
Any Country ties are always "deep tied" or "deeply rooted":
Kuwait-Yemen ties 'deeply rooted,' says ambassador
Kuwait, Turkey affirm deep ties
Kuwait, Bahrain affirm deep-rooted relations

Any combinations of these out there?
"MP praises slam of Al-Hajji for grilling Yemens deeply rooted relations to Kuwait"
hahaha... grilled... some good observations here.
I actually liked this short header from today's NYT; 'Facing Deficits, States get out Sharper Knives' (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/17/us/17fiscal.html?hp);
stretching the metaphor nicely.
call for grilling!
