English In Use - 'Blatt's All Folks'

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 British headline writers had a field day dealing with the resignation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter. My favourite was the Metro with 'Blatt's All Folks' - simply replacing 'That's' with 'Blatt's'.

"That's all folks!" is a famous catchphrase shown at the end of Looney Tunes cartoons.
