This is a list of weird semantic reversals I've noticed.
Contents
"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"
"Pre-existing conditions"
- For people taking away protections for pre-existing conditions.
- "Let's hear it more for pre-existing medical conditions."
