noun

/ˌtæblɔɪˈdiːz/

Etymology From tabloid + -ese.

1

The writing style of tabloid journalism.

  • Tabloids have their own language. Maybe it's because the pages are smaller than the broadsheet papers, or perhaps it's because they have to make room to fit all those pictures of Jordan in her knickers in each day, but tabloidese is a language and a skill peculiar to the red tops. Forget anything you learned in your grammar lessons at school.2010, Sharon Marshall, Tabloid Girl, Hachette UK, →ISBN:
