Interesting, I would have thought once gone it never returns. Any examples of words or phrases that have come back to a niche definition?

- chime 16y agoAll of the examples I gave: e-commerce, WWW/Internet, multimedia, digital, robot, and automatic. They started with a specific meaning, then became overused, and now are back to meaning something specific. Think about to 1995 and remember how multimedia was overused all the time, ever where. Now it means something specific once again.
