London calling to the faraway towns — it’s really expensive and crowded here.
"Commute"
Used to mean: A journey to work, often driving through quiet roads, or maybe a quick walk through town.
Now means: A vicious crusade through an urban hellscape, with detours into subterranean metal canisters stuffed with people and sweat.
"Flat-Hunting"
Used to mean: The process by which you find a new flat.
Now means: The process by which you are humiliated, broken, terrified, exploited, and then you find a new flat.

"Pop-up"
Used to mean: A book with lovely 3-D pictures.
Now means: A restaurant that is too weird to actually work, so instead is temporarily set up in the local hipster hangout until the novelty value wears off. Often actually an ad.

"A quick drink"
Used to mean: Going for a few drinks.
Now means: Going for all the drinks, and waking up with your shoes on, the light on, and a cactus in your bed.
