Rented apartments being used for brothels?
They must have had to do some serious investigative work to uncover that.

Perhaps not truly woeful journalism, but I actually disagree with almost all of his examples.
Same guy had an article yesterday on the decline in darts. To me darts had exploded in recent years.

I’d agree with most of those. Ghosting especially. There’s some players can’t move anywhere without ghosting there.
Obviously, all those words should be used in their proper context.
But ghosted describes the act of a player making an untracked run in behind to a goalscoring position in a way that no other word does; materialised certainly doesn’t do so.
Getting rid of position names is bizarre.
The only one I’d unequivocally agree with is the phrase “kick ball”; doesn’t belong in an article. But spurned, rued, harrowing, physicality (???), are all fine when used in the proper context.
