rehashes
Reworks old ground
Rehashes is the verb form of rehash, meaning to present old material again without significant improvement or originality.
Someone who rehashes arguments brings up the same points repeatedly: He just rehashes the same complaints every meeting.
The word carries a dismissive tone—rehashed content lacks freshness or new insight.
As a noun, rehashes are things produced this way: The sequels were just rehashes of the original.
