Joking aside, things can get a new lease on life, too. That is to say improvements have been made. For example, you can give an old rug a new lease on life by cleaning it. The dirty old piece looked, well, dirty (and you wanted to throw it away). The newly washed thing, on the other hand, has such a brand-new look that you wonder what you were thinking even contemplating throwing it away.
Anyways, here are examples of "new lease of life" and "on life" from the media.
1. Old drugs get a new lease of life
A dozen potential new treatments for conditions as diverse as depression and constipation have been discovered by analyzing the side effects of old and established drugs.
The list of unwanted side effects of any given drug seems endless and repetitive but a German led team has mined this information to work out possible new uses of drugs that have already been tested for other uses.
Although further research will be necessary to back the work, the findings indicate that 260 drugs already on the market (and established as safe) may have additional uses beyond what they're currently prescribed for and, of 20 tested so far, 13 show promise.
2. Transplant gives new lease on life
Today on Father's Day Jennifer Case of Buffalo feels especially fortunate she has her dad.
How great is a father's love? Robert Case gave his daughter his own kidney.
