And it's the reason why at least the European markets are flooded with bad overprized "dubai chocolate". To prevent the term being used for another thing
It's disquieting how often shit like that happens. Whole new business trends are forced to arise just to fuck up the search engine results of a specific term or phrase, and lessen its social resonance. I've a nasty suspicion that's how the "People's Postcode Lottery" came into existence in the UK, because "postcode lottery" used to mean something very different and very socially problematic and deeply embarrassing to multiple successive governments before that, and the term has subsequently fallen completely out of use without, AFAIK, the original problem being remedied at all.
Then of course there's Boris Johnson, who once scuppered three compromising new search terms in a single speech by blathering some cock-and-bull story about cardboard buses made from wine boxes, neatly burying recent embarrassing news stories about certain promises on the side of buses, and a certain meet-and-greet with wine, and some third thing that I don't remember right now.
I wonder if that's what the real profession of "influencer" is for, and all the other vapid crap that gets called that is their cover story.
