This is the strangest title I've seen in a while. Was there an "Urban whore" train that wrecked the weekend? Did the "urban whore" train-wreck the weekend? (is train-wreck even a verb?)
In USA everything can be a verb. It's a very active country.
You only have to USA any noun and it becomes (is USA'd) a verb.
Sorry, could not resist.
A wise man once said, "Verbing weirds language."
I agree.
Ah, I think I now understand what it's supposed to mean. I think it would have been clearer with a dash: '"Urban whore" train-wrecks Scientific American's holiday weekend.'
Oh it's a verbed noun phrase. I never would have figured that one out without help.
