    Is “stunts” the new “slams”?

    I’m too old to keep up on current popular terminology

      I don’t reckon it’s popular. We’ve known for years that “slams” is a sign of a disappointing article, but maybe we’re all actually starting to internalise it now, so now we need to mix up the headlines to keep engagement.

        I must not have been in the right circles, then.

        I suppose it helps to actually be in circles… but still.

        Yes, I have heard of the term stunt before. Shockingly.

        Just not in this context, which is not in fact mentioned in the link you provided.
