That's doublespeak, not labels. There's a difference.

Some of it isn't even that.

Fast food: it's fast, it's food.

Side dish: it's a dish, on the side.

Sitcom: it's a comedy, set in a particular situation.

Road rage: it's rage you feel while on the road.

Cure, news, choice, baby boomer: I've frankly got no idea what the poster is on about in most of these.

I know some of those:

News - it's not news, it's sensationalism. Besides, what's new to you isn't new to me.

Choice - we're limited in choices, Coke or Pepsi isn't a choice, wah.

Cure - I, um... like disease?
