English In Use - Fatman 'Slim' Goes To Gym

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.

Fatboy Slim is a famous English DJ (real name Norman Cook) and he was obviously the inspiration for the headline Fatman 'Slim' Goes To Gym in The Sun, on a story that the former fattest man in the world, 51 year old Paul Mason, from Ipswich expressed delight at visiting a gym after he  had trimmed 46st off his 70st bulk.
