A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

It's blow or smack. 40% purity of either is second tier and most likely to NOT kill the occasional user.
Most people come here because of A Vigilante thinking 40% means a blow job, it just means blow ( or smack ). Unfortunately some drop out screen writer did a search for abuse related terms and stumbled on some elementary school kids definition about swallowing, so now we're all stuck here in the quagmire of a misused 40% slang term making its way into pop culture. In the movie 40% means head because he thinks she's a prostitut; for the rest of us it's just a way to get through the day.

40% is when a female gives a male head and swallows... Girls that give head and swallow at least once a week have a 40% less likely chance of getting breast cancer so it works out for both parties.
