That's whay I thought. It's what one of those people who brings their luggage down to breakfast in a Premier Inn so they can eat as late as possible and dash off without going back to their room to brush their teeth lke normal decent human beings. They want to have a quick 'brexit'.
The papers also describe everyone as 'iconic', 'legendary', or 'genius'. Another one they seem to have started to use is to describe every celebrity as a 'national treasure'.
One thing I really hate is the tabloid double standard involving the word 'Sweetheart'. Prime examples of this would be Jade Goodie, and Anna Nicole Smith. One minute they're morons, idiots, laughing stocks. Soon as they died they became "a lovable sweetheart", and "nation mourns Americas sweetheart". By the very same 'journalists' who were so quick to rip the p*ss out of them when they made a racist slur, or appeared high as a kite on TV.
Jade Goody was recently described in one paper as 'Big Brother Legend' when she was alive she was described as an idiot, now she's dead she's suddenly a legend. What a load of pish.
In the mid to late 90s and early Millennium I remember both on the telly and in papers the words "Veritable feast" used quite often typically in connection with large scale sporting events.
A paper might say, "The world of spectrum is quite literally a veritable feast of vintage gaming action"
Yes it's "the very best of".....which is another phrase thrown around by papers, usually describing something that's moderately popular, but not that common. I.e. It's used to describe the above when they actually have little or nothing to compare it to.
Like Cristian Popescu is the very best of Romanian comedians.....when infact they no absolutely no other Romanian comedians...
Don't forget how the papers love to use the phrase 'problem with anti-semitism' when what they really mean is 'too many middle-eastern types for our liking'. Although you mostly get that one in the run-up to mayoral elections...
Source - "Person I made up to get away with this fiction I am about to write."
Insider - "My editor told me to make up this libelous crap."
Someone close to - "bloke sat next to me in the newspaper office who's better at lying than me."
I think I've learned enough to pass a journalism degree now:
Sizzling Scottish hunk, Einar Saukas (59), today refused to deny saucy rumours that the so-called website, WOS, is a den of sickening perverts. One insider confirmed to The Twatter on Sunday that "they're all hooked on pics of Charlotte's bazongas, they just can't get enough of them." Hackers familiar with the dark net told us, "it's unbelievable - anyone can join by simply asking and they don't have to use their real name." Our source said that members were encouraged by sleazy cult leader 'FogartyLee', most likely a former lag and master of deception. "He's making them all live in the past and no one can figure out who he is," said the member on condition of anonymity. "It's just one small step from using 34 year old consoles to actually having sex with a 34 year old."

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

Hate these stupid made up words! Although, I guess all words are made up when you think about it?
Actually it sounds like a mid-70s chocolate bar with a wafer in it. You used to be able to get a packet of KP Whizzlers and a Brexit for 12½p.
'I got up late for work so had to make a quick brexit it and eat my toast on the train'
That would explain why they're saying Brexit could be bad for the UK!

It's the finishing move of new WWE Superstar 'The Sasquatch'. :P
Overly dramtic when describing a gale-force wind
