Now the term “slams” has lost a lot of its original meaning through inflationary usage over time, but the fact that it’s used here to mean “objectively correctly describes” is a new low for headlines.
Ugh 😑
Can we have a blanket ban on any article that uses “slammed” or “slams” unless it’s about a physical event?

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are [especially problematic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).
Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.dw.com/en/european-parliament-slams-hungary-as-an-electoral-autocracy/a-63133148](https://www.dw.com/en/european-parliament-slams-hungary-as-an-electoral-autocracy/a-63133148)**
