Top definition
A miner who works in the limestone quarries of southern Indiana. This is especially used by college students at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, to reference the "local people" (whether or not they actually work in the quarries) to differentiate them from the college student population. They are also called "cutters" (for limestone cutters). Use of this term can be heard in John Mellencamp's song "I Need a Lover".
"Electricity runs through the video
And I watch it from this hole I call home
And all them stonies are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world callin' me up free tonight on the phone" -- John Mellencamp, "I Need a Lover"

Here, "stonies" is the plural of "stony".

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 ship name for Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. The greatest ship to ever live in the mcu. Everyone should ship them, if someone does not then they are wrong.
Someone: I love Stony so much! Wayyyy better than Stucky!

Another person: I know right, Tony is definitely bottom, and Steve tops.
