Oooh, I almost forgot: bonked/bonking.

To denote sexual intercourse between randy individuals, particularly if in humorously public places or by minor celebs.

Why are strikers 'hitmen'? On the face of it, a 10-goal top scorer would appear to have little in common with an Italian-looking gentleman carrying a pistol.

For the same reason that keepers and occasionally defenders are stoppers?

And midfielders "schemers"?

And a little rule of tabloid-ese for you: prison cells MUST, in all circumstances, be described as CUSHY.

Unless they are abroad, in which case they are HELLHOLES.

Occupied by YOBS.

The smarmy gayer out of Little Britain is usually referred to as a lothario. Him and George Clooney. Reckon it must be Italian for smarmy gayer.

Brits ------ Holiday-------- Chaos

these three can be used in almost any sequence with the addition of one or two of In/Of/For

I will give a couple of worked examples..

Holiday Brits in Chaos

Holiday Chaos for Brits

Chaos for Holiday Brits

add infinitum.

As a postscript if the weather temperature achieves "Scorcher" Level this must be acompanied by a picture of a "Hottie " in a bikini on either of Brighton or Bournemouth beaches. Other beaches may possibly exist but not outside the domain of tabloid journalism.
