This is a list of weird semantic reversals I've noticed.

"Citizens United"

Originally referred to a group that was fighting for a law against corporate sponsorship of elections
Now refers to the decision made against that group
Now lots of examples of supporters of the original group using phrases like "We hate Citizens United", "Dump Citizens United", etc.

"Oxford comma"

"People with a cold sound nasally"
