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

Tulsa is more like a city from east of the Mississippi. Like Louisville.
Oklahoma City is like a dirty truck stop on I-40 or I-35.
Oklahoma had a past Governor that would fly VIP's into Tulsa and have them limo 120 miles to Oklahoma City because the 2 hour trip was better looking than the drive from the Oklahoma City airport to the Governor's Mansion.

An event where much fewer than expected attendees show up. The attendance has to be so low that the host gets embarrassed.

Background: Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma in June 2020
Mary: Hi Karen, how was your birthday party last night? Sorry I couldn't make it.
Karen: F**k you Mary! F**k everyone! I ordered food for 100 people and only 3 showed up. You all made a Tulsa out of my party.

The absolute best city in the great state of Oklahoma, rivaled only by Stillwater, which is home to the best university in the nation, OSU.
I used to think OKC was the best city in Oklahoma, then I visited Tulsa and knew I had been horribly misguided.

Tulsa drugs and guns on every street and the news always runs a story about homicide. The strip clubs have more strings hanging out then a marionette.
