Today's Word: Stale

From One Word.

A thousand year-old thoughts, a million year-old movie sequels, vintage clothes passed off as retro-chic, a downward spiral of nostalgia feeding upon itself in fashion, video games, mass entertainment and relationships. There's a need to invent new words, even new ways to move the body and mind, to keep a kind of stale corrosion of self-satisfaction, from corrupting us and making whatever we do and say sound and smell like fossilized dust.
