      This just means “to insult”. Not exactly interchangeable with “overcome with a negative emotion”.

      But yes, I fucking hate this kind of hyperbole in news headlines. The other one I see is blasts like somebody legit fired a Kamehameha wave at somebody else.

        This is one of the most absurd examples I’ve ever seen. This shit drives me crazy.
