"Eight words or phrases we need in English" says Auntie Beeb. Chances are they exist already, only deep within some book or other.

Hoary old fic time:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3142366/1/Kasumi-s-Final-Move by avis de rapina. One-shot. Slightly limish.

Kasumi does have a big attack to her credit, one that scares seven bells out of everybody.

Note: This might cause flashbacks to the Eighties.

https://galax.xyz/Teletext50/
https://bjh21.me.uk/bedstead/

Reason for flashback: These are Teletext fonts based on the bitmaps in the Mullard SAA5050 teletext character generator chip used in many a TV set to display teletext pages, and in the BBC computer for its Mode 7 text-only display mode.

Why flashbacks to the 80s? Teletext is still alive... I see screenshots passing by on Twitter every now and then.

Hell, it's even available online: https://nos.nl/teletekst
