How do you know they were getting and not giving? After all, giving is something the whole class can do (assuming they have at least one hand)

A hand job could be a handjob, but a hand job isn't itself a handjob.

Hand jobs: Massaging, opening jars,.handjobs.

Handjobs: Old fashioned, the rusty trombone, etc.

A rusty trombone is not just a handjob. It's anilingus at the same time. The rusty part is because the lips get covered in "rust" from the "mouth piece" of the metaphoric trombone.

I classify it more a handjob than a rimjob, but I suppose it's more down to who's playing and their forté.

What I'm reading from this is: why not both?

I'm over here amazed with how many times I had to read the headline before my brain would register what was wrong. It's times like this that I can almost understand how stuff like this happens. Ha

Same but I struggled to make any other sense of it, trying to understand how stuff like this happened

It's "first-hand". English is stupid. Sometimes two words don't become compound. Sometimes they do become compound and they're just grafted together, like in German. And sometimes you use a hyphen. I'm really good at writing and I can't always keep this shit straight.

Hyphens tend to drop over time. When's the last time you saw someone refer to "e-mail"?

That's a different kind of use for hyphen though. The use of hyphen that I'm talking about is actually flexible, used as-needed to turn any given multiple words into a single adjective, adverb, noun, etc.

Also, never get your English punctuation (or other) patterns from JRPGs, nor from popular usage on the internet. I'm not saying literacy is lowering, but I will say that people with poor literacy use the internet more than ever, and bad patterns emerge.

The easiest way to solve the editorial issue for a lot headlines like this is to simply ask a teenager to read it. Their reaction will tell you if it's correct or not.......

There's a reason wording and punctuation is important. For example: "let's eat, Greg." Vs "let's eat Greg."
