The main part of the paper focuses on the discussion of the new contexts of the use of the lexeme in question, illustrated with numerous examples, taken from NKJP and MoncoPL corpora. The article shows that the word has significantly expanded its scope and should be perceived not only as a lexical borrowing from English, but as a semantic loan and a native semantic innovation as well.
