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

A very clever person. Good at talking their way out of things and avoiding questions, they do sometimes seem to have a heart. They can be quite fun and like to talk to most everyone but avoid any real details about themself. Over all a nice person who doesn't really care about anything or talk much.
Girl: I really don't wanna talk right now
Boy: Oh come on, don't be such a kuro
Girl: I think I will.

An asshat and pervert.

Likes to make fun of people's misery and the usage of "Fwap fwap fwap".

Sometimes does both at the same time.
Kuro: I don't like cancer, except when other people have it. Then it's funny plus bald chicks are hot. Fwap fwap fwap.

The opposite of kudos. A reprimand, such as spanking, slapping, punching, etc.
I gave that guy a kuros for being such a dick to me the other day. Boy, did he deserve it.
