    Can anyone come up with a few words (not slang) that have changed meaning over the last 10 years? These can also be words that have been created.

    I have come up with a few-

    Spam- from food to junk email
    cell- from biology to cellphone

    I am trying to compile a list of these. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Server (Was volleyball/tennis, now tech)

    Post (Used to be part of a fence, no explaination needed for its current more popular use)

    Thread (Used to be a peice of string, again no explaination needed for current use)

    Text (used to be simply letters typed out, now short hand for a text message)

    I may be able to coem up with some more, but now my head hurts. Hope they can help a bit.
