‘Whip’ seems to come from hip-hop.

The others are good ol’ English words.

It's the NY Post. They use creative writing in their stories all the time.

My favorite they use is "strap hanger". That is used to describe people on the subway.

It's almost like a paper from 1930. Another word they use a lot is "crook". I love that.

IKR? A $400K Rolls Convertible is NOT a ‘whip.’ She also doesn’t know the difference between “awoke” and “awakened.”

Natalie O’Neill was a staff writer and now ‘free lance.’ Guess she’s been sitting at home with a Thesaurus trying to spice up her writing...

“The owner of the abode, identified only as John, 38, was awoken by an alarm...”

I was surprised to find that “awoken” is a real word since I have only heard “awakened” used.

Journalism today. So childish a child could do it. Literally.

I wonder if John just disabled it immediately after logging on or if he was selective on where the car was located before he did that. For example, he could have done it when they were in the middle of one of the bridges that the thieves would have to take... Goethals, Bayonne, Newark Bay, Hackensack River.
