May 22 Word of the Day
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

An efficient, simple word to replace the more complex "anal assault of a sexual nature" because, well, that is an unnecessarily complex, redundant phrase.
Bob feared his time in prison. He knew daily, even hourly ass-ault was on the menu for him in an "all you can eat" banquet sort of way, since he was new meat in the con-dom. He would come prepared. He would not lose this opportunity of a lifetime. He went on a rigorous training program of dealing with lawyers and duct cleaners, always bending over and taking one for the team. He knew how to fit it in anywhere. And he would not climax until his way had been had at least daily.
