Something else that people are changing the way they call something, with the intent of trying to vilify the other person or make them sound worse.

I've had remote control airplanes since I was a young boy. I had remote control helicopters, boats, cars... Now suddenly they are ALL called drones. They didn't do this until military drones were starting to be used around the world. So now when the guy down the road uses his new toy up and down the road, even if it is for taking a peek at neighbors or messing with someone - it's a drone. It sounds more like a bad device when calling it a drone, as opposed to a RC device.
