There are words that change meanings over time. For example, "gay" used to mean happy and carefree, in earlier times. Now we know the meaning to be a term to denote a homosexual lifestyle.
Here's another word that I propose to the english language. Flashing. At a younger age this means displaying a part of your naked self to someone else usually in a public setting.
A middle age friend of mine asked if the room was warm or was it her. It is a condition of her age. She said it must be her, flashing. I jerk my head up. She smiles and says "hot flashing".
