English In Use - 'You're Clicked'

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'sa ll perfectly clear to the native speaker.

'You're nicked' is slang for 'you have been arrested' and it has been adapted for a Daily Star headline of 'You're Clicked' on a story about a burglar who was caught repeatedly trying to break into a house in Northampton with a screwdriver - just feet away from a CCTV camera. Police have now issued a one minute 46 second video in a bid to catch the man.
