A new word of Canberran origin, created by me.
1)A physical design that does that the opposite of its intended function. The design fault isn't simple human error just human idiocy.
2) An admistrative process that is counter-productive. The fault in the process isn't just a kink in the system but something that was intentionally planned.
3) Anything that is obviously illogical, shitty and insane that totally drives people mad but nobody does anything about.
Things that are nurturgulated differ from things that are just plain stupid in that the nurturgulist (someone who makes things nurturgulated) truly seems to believe that their idea is brilliant. verb: nurturgulate.

1) "That bus shelter is nurturgulated, it does lets the rain in."
2) Our health system is completely nurturgulated. Its designed so that that more people get less health care OR
"In an economic rationalist effort the government has sold a government departmental building it just spent million of dollars building especially for said department. Now the government department is leasing back space in the building so it will have a place for the public servants to work...for more money than it got for selling it."
"That's nurturgulated!"
3) "The answering service message says "Press the hash key or hang up the phone." why would I bother pressing the hash key if I'm going to hang up the phone anyway! That's nurturgulated!"

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
