unprecedented — a word that used to mean a person, event, timing or situation — P.E.T.S. — that had never happened before.
Now in the 21st century in the post-Trump Presidential Era it means: P.E.T.S. that happen everyday.
In literature this is called “the reversal theme”.
Here are a few contemporary examples:
“bad” means “good”.
Example: Man, that’s a bad car.
“Nasty” means “amazing”
Example: Man, that bad was nasty!
“Unprecedented” means “daily” or “regularly”
Example: Donald Trump telling lies is unprecedented.
This is one way languages undergo transformation; and, there are many examples of this in American English.

Stemming from the culture of boolandishness, unprecedented is frequently used in scenarios that have been previously unexperienced, and\or have newfound meaning. The term is best applied during instant messenger conversation and must be spelled out ideally with three spaces between each letter to signify the unfounded satisfaction and glory.
1) The lerk of the day was absolutely U N P R E C E D E N T E D.
2) There were many unprecedented lerks that we succombed to throughout the day.

Meaning: "not in my severely limited knowledge".
Commonly used by politicians and any other professional who doesn't know what they're talking about.
This is the most overused word of our generation.
