(n) an entry posted to urbandictionary.com with a strong editorial slant that mysteriously never appears on the website
Despite having received confirmation of my definition for "one-termer" and a message that the definition will appear in the next 24 hours, it never does. Considering the level of incoherent gibberish that does get posted, one has to wonder how my entry became a ghost post. Can an entry be posted, recommended for deletion, voted on, and deleted in less than 48 hours? I seriously doubt it.
(Chances are you won't see this definition either.)

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

When someone posts on your facebook wall but deletes it, yet you are still left with a notification that this person posted on your wall.

Social media posts written for a brand by a dedicated writer and not by a salaried employee of the company.
Who has the time to update social media? I have a company to run, and I don't want to hire someone for $30K+ a year. Let's just ghost post it. So easy, it's scary.

A comment on a Facebook item (e.g. status, note, etc) that was removed by the author due to A) misspelling, B) stupid remark, C) awkward input, or D) other.
The result is typically confusion and several wasted minutes on the part of the one who was commented on or anyone who posted previously.
