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

1) Your hustle

2) Good work ethic, doing what you do.

Ex: Getting money, editing pix, singing...whatever your hustle is.

When you're "on your grind" then you're doing a good/great job at whatever you're doing.
"I see you on your grind."

"Dang you're on your grind."

"I'm just getting my grind on."

A gaggle of geese...a herd of elephants...a grind of lesbians.

I went to the coffeehouse to grab an espresso, but a grind of lesbians was protesting for fair trade coffee, blocking the door.

A word used in any MMO representing the repetitive actions taken in order to make the character stronger. The grind is also a substitute for normal life functions. Sleeping, eating, drinking and being social are not important, when it comes to grinding.
Gamer is to grind as Pacman is to dots. Wakka wakka wakka!

Gamer1: Yeah, I'll probably grind all weekend trying to get to that map.
Gamer2: Man, it'll take forever.
Gamer1: I know, but I'll make it happen. I'm looking forward to my next set of gear.
Girl1: Losers...
