A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it’s all perfectly clear to the native speaker.
Plenty of slang used in the ‘Posh Nosh Under The Cosh’ headline on the Daily Mirror’s story that inmates at a prison in Cardiff, which recently opened a posh diner to the public called The Clink Cymru, complained that they’re not getting enough to eat.
Posh is a word we use to describe people who are (or behave as if they are) well-off.
Nosh is slang for food.
Under the cosh means under pressure.
Clink is another word for prison.
