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

When you act like a simp to a friend to be sure that friend will be loyal to you and trust you. The more you friend-simp, the more that friend will trust you. It's used more when you are not used to have many friends or actually don't have any, or when you want to make that friendship to last more, in the first case you won't be able to stop friend-simp because you mostly will feel scared to lose your friendship, not even for a minute.
Friend-Simp (friend-simping): "Hey, (thinking about how he did well on the basketball game yesterday) hows going with your girl? Everything alright?"
Friend: "We had a fight yesterday because of her choice to change school next year, (the friend-simp gets annoyed but still listens to him) she told me some bad things and i feel bad rn"
Friend-simp: "Do you wanna get sum mc myb? To make you change ideas, i offer"
Friend: "Wow, thnx man, i'd appreciate a lot. lets go then"
