In Hinduism Shakti is defined as (1) Power (2) Absolute Power and (3) Power of the Goddess. In rare instances when a Hindu Order gives someone a "Hindu name" and the first name is Shakti, the Shakti doubles as a noun meaning: "The Power Of".
Shakti as a noun: A cheetah has the Shakti (power) of speed. An bird has the Shakti (power) or flight.

Shakti as a name: A perfect example is the Hindu Satuguru Shakti Ganapati Subramanian. His name would translate to:

(1) Power of the Goddess

(2) Power of Ganapati aka Ganesha who removes obstacles on the spiritual path

(3) Power of Subramanian who bestows knowledge through lively debate

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

Sexual energy. Shakti is a word new age hippies use because they're too politically correct to just say they're horny.
When I look at you with your dreadlocks and smell your patchouli I feel Shakti energy.

The reverse of the shocker. Is achieved by putting two in the stink and one in the pink.
Instead of the shocker, my girlfriend decided to change things up a bit, and let me give her the shakti.

A rectangle faced guy with rectangle glasses who is always so loud and burns your ears. He is also very nerdy in some situations in school. Also, most Shaktis are hated by English teachers because he always disrupts the class.
"Who is that loud annoying dude?"

"Oh, just don't mind about him. He's a Shakti."
