hedline or hed is newspaper jargon for headline. The purposeful misspelling is designed to keep a note, such as "Add Hedline Here", from making it to print.
/ˈhoʊ mər ɛsk/ In the manner of or resembling J. Homer Simpson. Etymology: personal name Homer + suffix -esque (French, from Italian -esco, from Vulgar Latin *-iscus, of Germanic origin).
