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.
"What a Dummy" is the headline on the story of a cabbie who was conned out of a £140 fare for a trip from Brighton train station to London. 3 men got into the cab, and they agreed a price of £140 for the trip. After having dropped off the first two men, who had given him the address of their friend in the back seat who was “asleep”, he drove to the last address, only to find, when he tried to wake up the passenger, it was actually a fully-clothed mannequin.
Here dummy can be used for a shop dummy or mannequin, but it can also be used to mean idiot. The trouble is that whilst it may sound funny, the poor driver is out of pocket.
