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 headline writers at the Daily Express had fun with ‘Tache-tastic’ on a story that 58 year old Paresh Hindocha from Leicester has spent 38 years grooming his huge moustache, using a hair dryer, hair spray and a special styling glue. They just mixed the words ‘tache’, short for ‘moustache’ and ‘fantastic’.
