Top definition
A term of high respect and consolation used among (usually young) men. More personal and intense than simply bro. Likely arose as a logical reaction to young women referring to each other as queens.
A: My girlfriend just dumped me.
B: Hang in there, king. It'll get better.

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

Someone who doesn't have shit all over them.
From Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
First person: "Who's that?"
Second person: "Must be a King."
First person: "Why?"
Second person: "He doesn't have shit all over him."

A drinking game using all 52 cards in a deck, drawn one at a time. Rules vary from place to place, with each card meaning a different activity must be done, but the game has one common feature all over the world: the kings cup. This cup is placed in the middle of the table, with the cards around it. Whenever a king is drawn, the person who draws it must pour some of his/her drink in the kings cup. The unlucky bastard who draws the fourth and final king in the deck must chug whatever is in this cup. Can often be some nasty, ungodly concoction if people are playing with different drinks.
I almost shit myself when I saw the dreaded fourth king and realized I'd have to drink that disgusting mix of Irish Stout, Smirnoff Ice, and white russian.

Kings is known as the best drinking game ever, perhaps 2nd only to Beirut. It is a game played with all 52 cards in a deck lying facedown around a central "Kings cup". Whenever a King is drawn, the person who draws it must pour a portion of their drink into the cup. The unlucky bastard that draws the 4th King in the deck must drink the cup, hence the name of the game. Cards are drawn one at a time and each card picked has a corresponding activity.

It is very popular at colleges and universities around the world, particularly at the University of Rhode Island. At URI, we all play a little differently, which is part of the fun, but since we are all at URI a lot of these rules are university-wide.

On August 7, 2006 the global group "OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND KINGS RULES!" was created on www.facebook.com finally declaring to the rest of the world the fine version of Kings that URI students have enjoyed for so long.

Here is the rough draft of the official University of Rhode Island Kings rules. You don't have to play by the "official" rules obviously, just use them and the other possibilities to create your own game:

OFFICIAL URI KINGS RULES
A - Pick one of these for the entire game: Social (Everyone drinks. This is better if you don't have a ton of alcohol.) OR Waterfall (Great when you have plenty of alcohol. Stand up and when you start drinking, everybody starts drinking. When you are done the person to your left can stop drinking whenever they want, and when that person stops then the person to their left can stop drinking whenever they want. It goes full circle, basically the last person is screwed.)
2 - For you (Pick someone to drink twice.)
3 - For me (You drink 3 times.)
4 - Categories (Condom brands, sex positions, cars, movies, music, sports teams, etc.)
5 - Coin Flip (Flip a coin. If it lands on heads you remove 1 article of clothing. If it lands on tails you pick someone else to remove one article of their clothing. Choose the rules before hand, such as whether shoes count as clothing.)
6 - Chicks (All girls drink. "But what if there are no girls playing?" you ask? Then give up at life. Go play Dungeons & Dragons or World of Warcraft, nerd.)
7 - Heaven (Last person to point to the ceiling drinks.)
8 - Never have I ever... (Other people drink if they've done it.)
9 - Bust-a-Rhyme (Make up a sentence and the next person has to have the last word rhyme. The person who messes up drinks.)
10 - Men (All guys drink.)
J - Spin the bottle (It was fun in elementary school, it is fun now.)
Q - Truth-or-dare (See above. Choose the rules before hand, such as who asks. Maybe the person to your left or right.)
K - Pour a portion of your drink in center cup (Name of the game- Person to pick the 4th King drinks it.)

8 other Kings possibilities-
-Questions (Keep asking questions around in a circle until someone messes up, loser drinks.)
-Thumb wrestle (Loser drinks.)
-Blinking contest (Loser drinks.)
-8:Make-a-date/Pick-a-mate (Pick someone to drink with.)
-4:To the floor (Last person to touch floor drinks.)
-Nose touch (Last person to touch their nose drinks.)
-Thumb Master (Only if you are playing at a table: Every time this person puts his thumb on the table everyone else has to, last person to do this drinks.)
-Make-a-rule (You get to make a drinking rule, such as no-cussing, and whoever breaks the rule drinks.)
On another note, it's common to see 5 - Guys. But "five" and "guy" don't rhyme, while "ten" and "men" do. Do whatever you want.
