It’s not just the everyday language of teenagers that changes but the advertising words loose their meaning after a while.  Some words are over used.  Others are misused or even abused.  Words have meaning, sometimes in the context, sometimes in and of themselves.

Here are some words I can think of that don’t mean what they did even a few years ago.  Please comment at the end with any additions to this list you can think of.

In no particular order. . .

heavy duty

healthy

green

non-stick

limited time offer

everyday low price

national debt

republican

American Dream

hope

freedom

cell phone

discrimination

tolerance

diversity

equality
