How it's used
Originally a biological term, this has been repurposed in internet slang to describe any topic or question that appears with predictable frequency. It is often used to mock someone for bringing up a stale debate that has been settled or discussed countless times before. The term is highly flexible and can be modified with other time units like 日經 for daily or 年經 for yearly to emphasize how annoying the repetition is.
Examples
