Rescuing Language

Over time certain words or phrases that were at one time popular will drift away. A great amount of time will pass, and the word will lay dormant underneath the parlance of our times. And then, when you are on the verge of forgetting it completely, someone will wander along and use the word. They inadvertently rescue the word for you. They dust off the shelves of our memory.
