Judge Adam Michelini slammed Monahan in court, saying

NO HE DIDN'T. He SLAMMED Monahan by giving a calm milquetoast "what you did is awful and you should feel ashamed" statement? I wanna see a judge suplex a motherfucker before I see the word SLAM used in this context again

Reporter SLAMMED for overuse of the word SLAM in clickbait titles.

Probably not even written by a human though, really.

I don’t know what it is but I love it when the word slam is casually thrown into headlines and articles. Some weird fetish I guess. I don’t like clickbait but the use of that word is hilarious to me, especially when describing casual arguments like this instance.

Why do judges have hammers if not to SLAM.

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

From the hammer to the slammer. Fear the judge.
