What is the meaning of "your love is like a studded leather headlock"?
An Arctic Monkeys fan! The opening line of "Suck It and See" is open to interpretation, especially since it's unclear exactly what a "studded leather headlock" is. Is it a headlock (like a wrestling move) in which the person who is giving the headlock is using a studded leather belt around your neck? Is it a headlock given by a person wearing a studded leather jacket? In any case, it's an image of a painful and powerful grip. Perhaps Alex is saying that the person's love is both painful and controlling? 🏻♂️

It roughly means 'small things in any plan and scheme that are easily overlooked can cause serious problems later on.' For example, let's say that you wanted to buy a used car.

If you did that, you shouldn't be surprised if your car runs into maintenance problems. After this bad experience, you might tell a friend who is also considering buying a used car, "Buying a used car can save money, but the devil is in the details."

Regarding the Purdue Owl's Article, though it seems compelling at first, I can't help myself asking something about it; why does "it's" count as one word? Is it not 2 words?
#justcurious
That's a really tricky question, and answers vary. Some authorities consider contractions as one word, since the contraction stands on its own and has a clear meaning. However, other authorities state that contractions count as the number of words they would be if they weren't contracted; to them, "it's" would count as two words (it is, it has).
