One more random sorta language thing... just saw a headline: "Greece rocked by third day of riots". "Rocked" is a popular word for headlines and I always associate it with rock 'n roll, "rocked the club" sorta thing. So I always read those and my first association is something like "Those must be some awesome riots!" or "That earthquake kicked ass!" Am I the only one that has to read those headlines twice?
