Rerun means: An act or instance of rerunning; a repetition.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.

It was hers to lose and she lost it. It was an easy, slow pitch. She ran a terrible campaign and was set up by Netanyahu, who wanted Shitler to win. It's time to move on. We don't need a rerun. We need to learn from o…

An act or instance of rerunning; a repetition.
For parents
Rerun means: An act or instance of rerunning; a repetition.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.
For ESL learners
rerun means: An act or instance of rerunning; a repetition.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.

(publishing) Another printing run (impression; batch of copies of a given edition) of a book, cartoon, etc.
I'm not a fan of the new Simpsons episodes, but the old reruns have me in stitches, although I've seen them countless times.

(American) A television program shown after its initial presentation, particularly many weeks after its initial presentation; a repeat.
The central concern that runs through The Technology Trap is that, unless we are very careful, our latest technological revolution may well turn out to be a tumultuous rerun of the Industrial Revolution, with dire social and political co…

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
