like a deer in the headlines

The facial expression we have come to know - panic-stricken, wide-eyed and immobilized, not knowing which way to run, realizing that your crimes, sins and errors of judgement are suddenly America's number one topic.

The movie mogul had figured no one would ever talk, and if they did, who would believe them, yet here he stood, cameras on him from all sides, barraged by shouting reporters, like a deer in the headlines.

Headliner

A tattoo located above a woman's breast but below the collar bone.

Normally shaped like a tramp stamp with part of the tattoo extending between the breast.

Look at that girl's headliner... and her tits aren't bad either

Headline Educated

Someone who only reads the news headline without reading the full story and believes they know the full story.

"A story on Reddit says too much sleep can kill you!"
"How?"
"I dunno, I only saw the headline"

"Fucking hell Karen, It's a click. You are so fucking Headline Educated. Go away"

Headline Porn

The glorification of basic stories into a few exaggerated lines that make up a headline. It leads to the act of someone just reading the headlines of news stories, and needing just that to get a, mostly false, understanding of the story.

I just read the headlines and now I have a general fear of the world, I'm a headline porn addict.

Headlines

One of the two or three segments on the Tonight Show that's ever worth watching.

And even to watch that, you have to put up with Leno.
