Crash Blossoms
Feb 10th, 2010 by Elsi
I love books of awkward headlines: Police Help Dog Bite Victim and Red Tape Holds Up Bridge!
Now there’s a label for such lines: Crash Blossoms.
Read the article, giggle happily, and start looking for examples in your own local paper! Enjoy!
That’s a great term, and derived from an actual instance (like “mondegreens”).
Thanks for the link!
