Each generation or age has certain fashions wrt names and words

When I was born, double-barrel names were in vogue.

Certain uncommon names associated with older people used to be fashionable when they were born.

Similarly, some lesser known words become popular for a while (until they're overused and lose their appeal).

"Leverage" is one. Nowadays people leverage things, instead of just using them.

Another one is "plethora".

Devices are now marketed as “smart” if they are unable to function unless in contact with a remote command and control network that tells them what to do, which seems like the opposite of “smart” to me. https://twitter.com/gdead/status/1083714843834761219

Yes, the way the US media calls every rich Russian an "oligarch" but never uses that term for US billionaires is extremely revealing about how they propagandize for nationalistic purposes. https://twitter.com/JarrodCurrin/status/1083096664737566722
