Lexical Drift

Similar to semantic drift but instead of the definition changing the word and definition change.

Due to lexical drift, the Old English word mete, which once referred to all types of food, evolved into the modern English word meat, now specifically referring to animal flesh.

Dicks-lexic

The misinterpretation of the size of a man's member in an image sent via text message or email, with the misinterpretation being that the member is thought to be smaller or larger than the actual size of the organ.

Dude, I got Dicks-lexic when he sent me that dick pic, it's smaller than it looks.
