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 bit(s) of popcorn that miss your mouth as you shovel it into your face while sitting in a darkened cinema and collect in your lap.
When the lights came up after the film finishe, I was astonished to find myself quite so covered in crotchcorn.

Crotch-corn is the bucket of popcorn that one of the male species will buy at the movie theater in order to place it in his lap right above the crotch area, therefore requiring his female to reach into the bucket, making it look as if he is getting quote/unquote "action" on the first date.
Friend #1 at the movies: "Yo dude is that Ned over there scorin' some crotch-corn?"
Friend #2 at the movies: "Definitely scorin' some crotch-corn. I would too if I had a hot date like that. Damn!"
Friend #1 at the movies: "Gross dude! That's your mom!"

When one is lacking a popcorn bucket they often hold it in their lap or crotch area, this is called crotch corn.
