Bombshell, bombshell, bombshell .... (Edit: words change their meanings)
Over the last few years, every "bombshell" promised has proven to be a dud. (Edit: In modern times, 'bombshell' refers to a false promise of sensational history changing information to be delivered soon.)
It was better in the good old days, when bombshells were Jayne Mansfield, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Brigette Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Ann-Margret, Raquel Welch, and a few others.
They were real bombshells, and we liked it like that.This message has been edited. Last edited by: RichardC,

If it isn't resoundingly clear to a person by now that all these idiots get their talking points from a central source, then that person has not been paying an ounce of attention.

Not a click bate title in my opinion. I prefer the old definition myself.
Looking for further examples for clarification -

The first time I saw Naomi Watts many years ago, the thread title popped into my brain. Those Aussie blondes, oh my.

My wife had never seen the photo. So i had to explain it.
Rush frequently airs these compilations, where multiple news sources use the same word or phrase. The first one I remember was use of the word "gravitas" as in so and so brings gravitas to the debate or campaign. They are always hilarious and demonstrate how manufactured is our news. I heard him do another one this past week of reporters using the same phrase in regard to the impeachment.

Much better BOMBSHELL than anything the media does today!
BIDEN SUCKS.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Yes, describing wobbly RINO's listening to the dims' case, all taking "copious" notes. And McConnell tweaking the procedures was a "crack" in the GOP. Listening to these compilations, so many criminal Old Media bastards using the same language is downright chilling.
