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

When the world has gone to hell, and all proper English has completely been forgotten, people connected to the internet use this acronym to describe the phenomena of them having to talk on the computer at a later date.
The reason this is a complete scar on all of mankind is that it's an acronym that include an abbreviation.
Remember kids, 'You' is spelled with a 'Y', not a 'U'.
When forming acronyms, please keep in mind that, they are meant for shortening speech/text. If someone has to ask you what it means, you have thus failed. It then will require more effort to explain you were trying to be fancy.

This is a variation of the acronym TTUL (Talk To You Later). Just with an S at the end. Talk To You Later Sukka.
The S is added mostly for comedy as the TTUL means later, the S is only to add a brief name call before the conversation is over. Calling a friend a Sukka is always amusing.
Alternate meaning. Can be used to say Peace out in a psudo-negative way. See description below.
