Slam my physics goodbye

There seems to be a lot of slamming in the news lately.

Seen in the 'The Star' today:

-Groups slam PAS for its motion against SIS at assembly

-PETALING JAYA: Fomca has slammed the Bar Council..

-Chew slams PAS Youth

The word slam just makes you think of a giant hand coming from above to slap you. Or the manga 'Slam Dunk'. Or the Michael Jackson song. Or the 'rock' group. Whatever.

Slam sounds like a bullet word. No, not those dot bullets. Real bullets, the ones that George Bush loves to use on 'them terrorists'. SLAM! Hits you right in the face.

Why can't they use nicer words, like 'Chew politely criticizes Pas Youth', or 'Chew gives Pas Youth encouraging advice'?

That's the real cause of global warming, hot and spicy words.
