A rule of journalism: When a news headline includes words like blasts, blisters, bombshell, burns, claps back, drags, epic self-own, explodes, freaks out, goes nuclear, goes viral, humbles, humiliates, melts down, mind-blowing, rages, rips, roasts, shocking, skewers, slams, staggers, stuns, trends online, or trolls, find a better source. The only exception is when the word is used literally, i.e., a bombshell *actually explodes.

Now I’ll add ‘grenade’ to the list.
