But these recent ST headlines below fail to pass muster:
Even if the newsmaker had used the expression "spanner influence", does a headline quoting it help the ordinary reader grasp this newly invented and inelegant phrase? It is a clumsy attempt to give a twist to the idiom "to throw a spanner in the works". Nope, it does not work.
This other one is similarly clumsy. "Robbers... robbing (a vehicle)"...
A simple rejiggling makes it a snazzier headline: "Security van hijacked, looted, (then) set ablaze".

But enough of quibbling over headlines. Someone posted this online:
I found a similar one with two Ninjas peeping out!...
So, onthesannyside becomes motochirikuarikatotofuarikiteku.
Have fun with this template, on your name!
