Wtf is up with the proliferation of "slams" in social media headlines? Hell, the article in question doesn't even say "slams", it says "condemns".
I see it too. I also hate it so much!
You're obviously old and not jiggy with the latest lingo go buy your coffin already boomer-
Seriously, though, I don't bother trying to figure it out anymore. Every generation invents their own slang to rebel, but I can't tell if this is millenials taking over and injecting their brand, or an attempt to click-bait zoomers, or even gen-x trying to be hip. "Slam" sounds gen-x-ey to me.
It's just shoddy writing, but then I hear a lot of "language evolves," "it's common usage and so correct," and references to fucking Merriam-Webster, the Guiness Book of World Records of dictionaries.
SLAM!
How many slams can a nation survive?
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
This is clearly to divert media attention from the new UN interim judgement that Israel is committing a genocide
Not just that, but it's meant to discredit the UN as being on the side of Hamas, thereby invalidating the ICJ decision.
Your dog is Hamas now.
Man it sounds like Israel really wants to deliberately inflict on a group of people conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.
How is it that this accusation is taken seriously right away while the ICJ case will take years and a ceasefire is unmentionable?
