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 Daily Express headline 'Salad Days Over' makes use of the term 'salad days' which was originally penned by Shakespeare in Anthony and Cleopatra, referring to a youthful time. However in the modern era it often describes something or someone at its best. The headline continues with, "... As Price Of Olive Oil Skyrockets": The story is about how the price of olive oil, which is often used as a salad dressing, has risen, or in other words "skyrocketed".
