That “news reporter” voice has gotten steadily worse over the years. I stopped watching news of any kind a long time ago partially because of how annoying that voice and cadence was. Every time I see any news reporting now it’s all I can do not to take to the TV (or whatever) with a baseball bat. I can’t take it seriously at all and it’s so SO much worse now.

Robert Heinlein fan? ;)

Nice, double meaning :)

Probably not intentional

I also thought that, but then I remembered my Latin:

Kaput comes from the Latin for “head”, caput. Knowing that but not knowing any German, my guess is because it looks like the cat’s head is in the basket instead of on its neck :)

I’ve had this one for years

I see, thanks for the clarification. I didn’t want to assume.
