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

You got Deeter on your face.
You dropped your Deeter.
You dropped your Deeter stick.
Is that a Deeter in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

An effect in investment trading where the best intentions always result in disaster. If a sum is placed in stocks, the market will immediately collapse. You then Deeter and transfer your stocks to bonds as a stop loss. The stock market then rallies to all time highs and the bond market languishes causing you to Deeter again and transfer your bonds to stocks at a great loss in hopes of catching the market rally.
I put my money in stocks and the market dropped so I did a Deeter and put it in bonds and then the stock market rallied and I did another Deeter and put it back in stocks. I lost my ass! Damn my Deeter ways!
