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.

unprecedented 

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.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.
