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

Most well rounded player in baseball. Plays up to his high salary, will sacrafice his body to make a play. (diving into the stands face first) Hits for contact and power. Modest as hell and a pleasure to watch.
Dude, I saw Derek Jeter walking down the street and Baltimore, he asked me if I was going to the game.
Did you get his autograph?
Naw, Neither of us had a pen, but he was damn nice.

1.) Shortstop for the New York Yankees. He is definitley not overrated. Though statistically he is not the greatest SS in baseball, anyone who has seen him play knows that in all other respects he is. Perfect example...July 1, 2004 against the Sox. He is a fanastic player, and is pretty easy on the eyes as well.
Jeter is better than Nomar (who's not bad, but still not as good as DJ) and pretty much every other SS out there.

The shortstop for the New York Yankees who is not as overrated as people think. He had more hits over a 5-year period than anyone in recent history, and he made what is possibly the greatest play ever during the 2001 ALDS vs the Oakland Athletics.
Derek Jeter is a great shortstop that will definitely make the Hall of Fame. He also has 4 World Series rings, which is 4 more than Nomar Garciaparra (who is excellent as well) and Alex Rodriguez (who sucks Bud Selig's balls) combined.

A Baseball player for the Yankees who always gives his best every game. July 1st, 2004 showed his determination of the game where he caught a short pop fly nobody could've caught and couldnt slow down in time to avoid crashing into the Yankee Stadium seats.
non baseball fan: Why does Derek Jeter always run for his life on pop flies?
non baseball fan's friend: Because he's Derek Jeter

Great shortstop for the New York Yankees. Although he is not the best shortstop in the league, is best under pressure. He becomes a different person in Octuber. With his four worldseries rings, MVP Awards for the 2000 all-star game and World series, two amazing plays in the 2001 ALCS, all-time leader with 101 carreer postseason hits, he is certainly the best and most important shortstop in postseason history.
