I like how the verb in the headline evolves every time I see this story. First he was surprised. Then he was shocked. Now he's alarmed. Maybe I'll check back tomorrow and learn he's horrified!
slammed
This just means "to insult". Not exactly interchangeable with "overcome with a negative emotion".
But yes, I fucking hate this kind of hyperbole in news headlines. The other one I see is blasts like somebody legit fired a Kamehameha wave at somebody else.
CEO slammed with negative emotions after realizing layoffs have consequences
This is one of the most absurd examples I’ve ever seen. This shit drives me crazy.
They knew what they were doing... They had to. Lol
