Oscar

A prestigious movie award that reward movies for adults in an age when adults don’t go to the movies anymore. It's because people don't go to watch Best Picture-winning movies anymore, hence this movie award isn't the cultural force they once were. Though the ratings remain relatively stable from year to year, they are generally down from their height in the 1990s.

The Oscars used to be a huge cultural event, but now it feels like a prestigious award for movies that adults don't really flock to anymore.

Motherfucker

Motherfucker is the first word of Deadpool's daughter Eleanor. BTW, Deadpool likes to swear a lot when compared to pre-existing Marvel MCU superheroes like Ant-Man and Black Panther. Henceforth, people who don't receive proper English education in school will deem "motherfucker" to be the English word of what is akcually called "motherland" in English the second they watch Deadpool.

When Eleanor dropped her first word, everyone was shocked to hear her say 'motherfucker'—just like her dad, Deadpool!
