English In Use - 'Sand-ageddon'

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.

Armageddon is a term used for any end of the world scenario so I think the Daily Mail got slightly carried away with their headline of 'Sand-ageddon' on a story that parts of Britain were covered in dust blown in from the Sahara desert.

Bananageddon hit the news too, this time in the Independent in a story about a deadly fungus attacking bananas.  http://www.afactaday.co.uk/2014/04/interesting-food-bananas.html
