A term coined by Ronald "Dinamitedylan" Donald in late March/early April of 2011, "loar" is a word used to call out someone who is believed to be lying or deceiving. It quickly became very well-known and popular, to the point where many people use "loar" outside of the internet. Much to Dinamitedylan's disgust, in mid-May of 2011, YouTube user "Steelrobot" attempted to take credit for the origin of "loar", and, to this day, still argues that he came up with it. Thankfully, only a handful of people actually believe Steelrobot, and everyone else frequently calls him out for being the plagiarist that he is. As of now, "loar" continues to increase in popularity, and will most likely only become bigger as time goes on.

* The September 11, 2001 attacks

"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
