Lexiflex (noun) — The natural process by which the meaning of a word changes over time as people adopt it in new contexts. A word may gain additional meanings, lose older ones, or develop entirely different associations due to cultural trends, technology, or everyday usage.
Language is constantly evolving, and lexiflex describes this ongoing flexibility in vocabulary. It explains why familiar words such as cloud, mouse, and viral can have modern meanings that differ from their original definitions.

However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
