* [[Adult Swim]] was so named because it referred to the period where kids are ordered out of public pools so that only seniors can swim in it, and when it first launched in 2001, it even featured bumpers of kids being told to get out of the pool along with seniors enjoying their time. Sometime around 2003, these were replaced with the "white text on black" style bumpers seen today, though the name hasn't lost all meaning — it still trades in child-unfriendly shows.
* Changes in analog to digital formats has left many artifacts in language. For example, with digital video modern flicks don't ''flick''er, the length of footage isn't measured in footage, and the film isn't on film.
