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

The moment just prior to having uncontrollable diarrhoea. A red light gives you approximately 10 seconds to make it to the bathroom before wherever you are becomes ground zero for a "pooclear" explosion.
I was on the train to work this morning when without warning I got a red light and some fucker was in the bathroom! I had no choice but to go in the sink!

A game played by two people where player 1 puts their hand up player 2's pants, if player 2 gets uncomfortable they say "red light," this means player 1 wins. If player 1 gets uncomfortable and takes their hand out of player 2's pants, player 2 wins. If player 1 touches player 2's genitals, it is considered a draw.
Player 1: Want to play 'Red Light'
Player 2: sure!
(Player 1 slowly moves their hand up player 2's pants until they are just about to touch their scrotum)
Player 2: RED LIGHT!!!
(Even though player 1 has won they continue and end up giving player 2 a handjob)
Player 2: sure!
