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

There are two Pingry Schools: one in Short Hills, NJ, the other in Martinsville, NJ.
While Pingry may seem a harmless & friendly learning environment, it's actually evil. You fit in or you don't. The workload is like child labor. Money is poured into useless stuff, like a Middle School. Keep the midgets in the basement, for chrissake.
But Pingry has its upsides. There are shiny, odd-shaped things on the ceilings. If you avoid the meat and fish, the food is quite good. You may even find somebody who hasn't been zombified by pop culture! Fancy that.

Outside of Pingry, visitors may gawk at the horrible wastes of money that we proudly present. A huge-ass clock tower that's green, not blue; a very ugly courtyardish thing; neglected playing fields surrounded by nice sidewalks, and snotty white kids who are a waste of space and probably paid their way in.

a group of rich prep kids. yea we are rich and we know it. everyone who goes here is upper class and is either really smart or so rich that they can buy their way in. our sports teams are amazing but at preppy sports like soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, swimming, hockey, and track. we can party hard and ya get over it kids drink. but you know what we can control it.
this is a private school not a public school so the boys are hot but in a preppy jock kinda way. and the girls are even hotter. but unliike public school they do not dress like sluts. we come from old money and are classy. if you dont wear designer clothing bascially dont even come. and if you think that you cant tell the kids who are on scholoarship. you can. they stick out like a soar thumb.
we rock the dress code, the honor code, our morning school assemblies with speakers from around the world, and rock at life.
all of our parents are CEO's, presdients, editors, or just plain famous and we can get whatever the hell we want.
we're rich, young, and hot and we know it
