PIE word
 *h₁epi
Learned borrowing from Medieval Latin obituārius (“obituary”) + English -ary (suffix denoting something relating to another thing or used in a place). Obituārius is derived from Latin obitus (“act of approaching or going toward, an approach; act of going down, setting; of the sun: sunset; death; destruction, downfall, ruin”) + -ārius (suffix forming adjectives and agent nouns); while obitus is a noun use of the perfect passive participle of obeō (“to go to meet, go towards; (figurative) to die, pass away, perish; (astronomy) to set”), from ob- (prefix meaning ‘toward’) + eō (“to go, move”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“to go”).

bulldog edition

en-noun

bulldog edition (plural bulldog editions)

Uncertain. One popular theory is that competition mainly drove the term; publishers "fought like bulldogs" to "get out editions that would catch the mails going out of town." Another theory suggests that it comes from the nautical term dogwatch (“evening shift”), as printers had to work late in the evening to put out an early edition for the morning paper. Numerous other theories have been proposed.

The Detroit Mirror, morning tabloid, which has been under the same ownership as The Chicago Tribune and The New York Daily News, suspended publication with its early bulldog edition today.

Had to go further down the road to get me Currant Bun / "Hello isn't that George on page one?"

1979, “In the Middle of the Night”, performed by Madness:

THAT painfully honest little newspaper, the Sun, was boiling with indignation yesterday about the case of the Tory minister who tried to smear Paddy Ashdown. […] Imagine, for instance, this call. […] K[elvin] M[acKenzie]: “Paddy Pantsdown? We done ’im already, Douggie. Don’t you read the Currant Bun?” […] Two weeks ago the editor of the Independent, a daily paper, was being screamed at by the Sun (aided by Britain’s biggest tabloid, the Sunday Times). Why? For having the unspeakable nerve to reveal all about Mrs Bottomley. We’ll get you, warned the Currant Bun.

1992 July 22, Andrew Moncur, “Diary”, in The Guardian, London, page 21, columns 1–5:

He normally read the Sun, swearing it was the best indicator of what would happen to the FTSE. His theory was simple: so many of the barrow boys trading on LIFFE read the currant bun that the markets were bound to do whatever its money column said.

2008, Nicola Monaghan, Starfishing, London: Chatto & Windus, →ISBN, page 87:

A friend returns from Istanbul to report spotting him reclining by the pool with a copy of The Sun resting atop the pile of papers on the drinks table. This wouldn’t go down well back home, where the Scousers still boycott the paper 20 years after its Hillsborough coverage. Many Brits go abroad to indulge tastes discouraged here but Stevie G is the first case of someone flying to Turkey to read the Currant Bun in safety.

2009 July 7, Matthew Norman, “[Sporting Miscellanies] Stevie G risks wrath as he soaks up The Sun”, in Evening Standard, London, page 50, columns 1–2:

After the bruising experience of Thursday morning, [Liz] Truss attempted a different tack, writing a piece for The Sun. In the article, which went online late on Friday evening, she told the paper’s readers that when she became Prime Minister, her government “could not afford to dither or delay”. […] Truss, a Remainer turned Brexit true believer, is clearly unfit for the post she has not yet held for a month and no number of flimsy articles in the Currant Bun will shake that widely held view.
