English In Use - 'Bailed Runner'

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.

The Sun's take on the Oscar Pistorius case was a headline reading 'Bailed Runner' after the South African athlete, nicknamed the Blade Runner, was granted bail  after being charged with the alleged murder of his girlfriend.

*Lynne - No one could ever accuse the Sun of acting in good taste.
