Does not occur in a New York episode where a house is literally moved by road and transported across the East River.

The circumstances in an episode of The Raccoons forced Cyril Sneer at one point to throw wads of bills into the furnace of a steam train to keep it moving, prompting him to state that he'd heard of 'burning money'...

In 3rd Rock from the Sun, a critic describes Dick's performance in Romeo and Juliet as "Giving a whole new meaning to the word 'tragedy'". Dick decides to quit acting after this - he was so successful he redefined a whole artform, any more would compromise the mission.

It isn't an episode of Smallville without Chloe and/or Lois saying this at least once.

In Tremors 2: Aftershocks, Earl comments that the wide array of weapons, ammo and survival gear that Burt brought with him "puts a brand new shine on the word 'overkill'," to which Burt quips back that "When you need it, and you don't got it, you sing a different tune." By the end of the movie, Burt ends up needing and using every last bit of the stuff he brought.

In CSI: Miami, "Breathless," Alexx quips "Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'Members Only'" after... well the context is unknown, but apparently nicotine got inside someone's penis, presumably a corpse's.

The Star Trek Expanded Universe novel series Invasion! revolves around aliens who inspired mythologies of demons on Earth. When they return with the intention to retake what used to be their planet, it's referred to as bringing a new meaning to the phrase "Hell on Earth". Or perhaps a very old meaning.

Family Guy made a joke about the same term; after a British pub that replaced the Drunken Clam burns down, the reporter on the scene holds up a scorched picture of Elizabeth II, saying it gives a new meaning to the phrase "check out that flaming queen".
