The Japanee government tried to set up the system to certify Japanese restaurants abroad that serve "real" Japanese cuisine, but gave it up because of critics "discriminatory." English papers publised here run the following headlines. Which is more appropriate?
a) Overseas restaurant certification nixed
b) Overseas restaurant certification off menu

The second one as it is a bit wittier

They both say the same thing in different ways. "Nixed" usually means denied. (it is a kind of newspaper slang)
Off Menu is a play on words. It is a cute way of saying that the idea of certification was rejected using a restaurant "menu" reference. Meaning it is no longer a choice.

we'd desire to pass in with an mindset that we can win. we are the final human beings in u . s . that love this u . s . and the unique ideals for what it as quickly as stood. individuals used to aspire to greatness and achievment. it is how we went from sea to shinning sea, and how we geared up the Panama Canal. Having a won't be in a position to do mindset will injury morale of troops. Obama does no longer comprehend something with regard to the militia.

Both are obtuse. I wouldn't even bother reading an article that had either title. There is nothing in either that piques my interest enough to read on.
