unprecedented 

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.
Donald Trump telling lies is unprecedented.

these unprecedented times 

"these unprecedented times" refers to an overused phrase describing the COVID-19 global pandemic. This overuse was most evident in public statements by schools and universities, politicians, corporations, and health authorities. Over the course of the pandemic, Twitter users began to mock this public relations cliché, by associating the phrase with the wider COVID-19 meme culture.

Variations include"these challenging times," "these uncertain times," and "these trying times."
During these unprecedented times, we must come together and we will survive this new normal.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. 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.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
