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

One of the smartest schools in the state of Pennsylvania...Not everyone smokes up and gets wasted each weekend,every high school has kids like that. It is just a accustion Kennett makes because mushrooms are the only things it has going for it.
Unionville High School may have its share of daddy's girl sluts and Hummers parked in the school parking lot, but it also have the highest test scores in our state, and about 97% of the school goes to college.

The opposite of Kennett aka smart, rich, white kids who have their own cars and plan on going to expensive colleges in VA and the Northeast. You can count the # of minority kids on one hand, and you'd need about 67 hands to count the # of expensive-ass cars in the parking lot. But the girls are pretty, the student body actually is intelligent, and the rivalry between Kennett and Unionville is probably the strongest of any two high schools.

High school in Pennsylvania widely known for its incredible theater department, as well as its rigorous academics. We also have a kick-ass marching band, and our music department boasts some of the most hardworking and talented kids around. In other words... We're not all snobby, slutty, jock-ish, popular jerks. This school is dominated by drama geeks, computer nerds, science prodigies, and art students. Sure, there are kids that fit the Unionville stereotype, but they're outnumbered by future Broadway stars and nuclear physicists.
The phrase "Unionville High School" has been officially declared synonymous with "Cappie Magnet."

Navigating the hallways of one of the richest schools in Pennsylvania you come across the girls that are "popular" participating in the Bulimia Olympics, but not without carrying their Louis Vuitton bags and wearing the latest from Abercrombie & Fitch with the "thong of the week" from Victoria Secret. Once you get your eyes rolled at a few times and a few dirty looks from the sluts--I mean girls, you come across the other half. If you aren't wearing pants 12 sizes too big along with your ice 'round your neck and a joint in your pocket, you aint cool. Everyone belongs to the Ghetto, or wish they did, as they trip over themselves tryin to rap their way down the hall. Gotta have had sex or gotten drunk or you're just plain weird, and if you have something to do, you are in the minority, but whites definately aren't. Unionville is the ghetto meets Beverly Hills.
You know you're in Unionville when...

every kid has rap blaring out of their oversized headphones

a guy can wear baggy jeans and a Dr.J jersey and the next day wear a shirt and tie, but still be fashionably correct
