I saw this phrase used today on an email list for cyberlaw professors. I guess I’m losing my pop-culture bearings, but I hadn’t heard it before. It refers to something that was once great but has since declined in popularity. The reference is to an episode of Happy Days when Fonzie jumped a shark on waterskis. (Citation: Urban Dictionary.)

The other day I read where somebody thinks “jump the shark” has now jumped the shark.
