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

Megane is weird, creepy, scary best friend. Although she might seem like a psychopath she is the sweetest friend when you get to know her and will always listen to the gossip (tea) you have to spill. Megane will always watch scary movies with you because she is basically a psycho killer;)))) But very lovable

A very beautiful girl, who is shy at first but bold as soon as you get to know her. She is very kind and hard working. She wears her duck marten boots and her thrift shop clothes with full confidence. She is very stylish and she knows it. She gets every persons attention just by being herself. If you get close with a Mégane be sure to keep her cause someone else will try to steal her from you. She will bring you happiness and laughter for the rest of your life. You will never be bored with her so don't loose her.
