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

Regional pronunciation of the noun "man," often in the American South -- though it appears frequently in Chicago blues music, and particularly in the songs of Muddy Waters, where this pronunciation can be clearly heard.
I'm a mayne!
A full-grown mayne!
I'm a lovin' mayne!
-- Muddy Waters, "Mannish Boy"

Mayne is NOT a synonym for man. It is southern dialect slang way to PRONOUNCE man. You won't see it spelled "mayne" by the people who talk that way... except maybe in written lyrics or dialogue (such as in fiction) or for emplasis. Other than that, why would anyone go to the trouble to write a word that's almost twice as long as the correct one and not as widely understood?
I could call you my main mayne and it might sound clever in a movie but makes no sense in print.
