EDITOR IN CHIEF: Go ask Copy.
BUSINESS EDITOR: Hey Copy, what's the style for "Power Ranger"?
COPY EDITOR: There's no stylebook entry for "Power Ranger." I think the most appropriate synonym in the stylebook is "superhero."
BUSINESS EDITOR: Seriously, let's ignore the stylebook on this one.
EDITOR IN CHIEF: What? We never ignore the stylebook.
BUSINESS EDITOR: Even when it's stupid?
EDITOR IN CHIEF: We don't need a stylebook to tell us what makes sense. We need a stylebook to tell us what doesn't.
BUSINESS EDITOR: But "Superhero" is a shared copyright of Marvel and Time Warner. That's going to get us in some shit.
COPY EDITOR: I think "Power Rangers" is a copyright of the Bandai corporation.
BUSINESS EDITOR: Time Warner has tougher lawyers.
COPY EDITOR: We're a newspaper. They can't sue us for that.
BUSINESS EDITOR: They're Time Warner lawyers. They can sue us for eating breakfast.
EDITOR IN CHIEF: WE ARE NOT BREAKING THE STYLEBOOK. End of discussion.

The Associated Press Stylebook in fact states on the front cover EVEN BEFORE THE TITLE that it is "The Bible of the Newspaper Industry."
To journalism students, the Associated Press is Big Brother. To journalism students, the Associated Press Stylebook is Hammurabi's Law. The Stylebook frequently states "despite the spelling in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, this word should be spelled..."
It also includes a 41 page 'Briefing on Media Law.' This is the result of Big Brother and Hammurabi collaborating and writing 20 pages on what not to do... and then 21 pages on how to get away with it every single time.

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.
Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
