Top definition
noun: 1. people stationed at the exit of a store to check you merchandise and receipt, to ensure that you have not shoplifted anything that the plain-clothed security personnel, ubiquitous cameras and hidden tag scanners did not detect
2. people employed by a store to treat you like a criminal, immediately after you just spent money in that store
Note: the greetard is sometimes tasked with double duty, as a frisker (see greetard),
Friskers are most usually found in Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Costco, although they are by no means limited to these establishments.
Friskers will almost always lie about the reason, when asked why they are checking your bag (ironic, since they are there to ensure honesty from the customer, but these store representatives are not bound by any code of honesty themselves).

"Phillip, let's go to Circuit City instead. The price is the same, and we won't be treated like criminals by the friskers when we leave the store."

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
