Definition

Content that has been shared before, typically copied or re-uploaded without modification or original credit, often to a different platform or audience. Reposting can be intentional engagement-seeking or accidental.

Example Usage

This meme is a repost from three days ago—everyone already saw it.

Origin

Straightforward compound of 're-' (again) and 'post'; emerged with bulletin board systems and early online forums.

Fun Fact

On Reddit, repost accusations are so common they've spawned a culture of 'repost bots' that automatically flag duplicates and link to the original.
