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

Fat Bottomed Girl. Speaks for itself. From the song "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen. Note that rather than applying the term in a derogatory sense, as one might think at first, the song actually praises fbgs.

a.k.a. fat bottomed girl, a women with wide, voluptuous, curvy, plump hips and ass. The kind of gal who screams squeeze my ass. A women, who, in springtime always makes the two letter word answer to the question "what's up dude?" start with the letter m and end in the e.

Fizzy Bum Gravy - A result of eating mystery dishes and strange foreign foodstuffs, or from inadvertently drinking the local water on foreign land. The next day, said concoction plays havoc with your intestines to the point that any loud noises or sudden movements will make you shit yourself. The resultant explosion from your arse sounds like the last of a washing up liquid bottle, emptying the entire contents of your bowel in 3 seconds. The by-product of this experience is known as FBG.
Oh, I can feel an FBG coming on!
Oh, I have a terrible case of the FBGs.
My guts are in turmoil; this next trip to the shitter is definitely going to be an FBG event.
