Like how "begging the question" has evolved past its actual intended usage and has come to mean "raising the question." Which, you know, is natural evolution of language but I also kind of hate it because "begging the question" is specific rhetorical device that can be used pretty deceptively, and I think we still need a name that matches what is actually happening, because the original meaning of the phrase is still very much relevant.
