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

Viet is a shorter term for one who is of Vietnamese descent. Vietnamese and other cultures name their children by this term as well. Those who are named Viet are very passionate. They are silent at first glance but very fun once they warm up to you. Viet's can have tempers and are not afraid to voice their opinion to someone close to them. However to strangers they remain quiet. Their facial expressions don't necessarily match their emotions. They could be content on the inside yet their face could mean danger. Those named Viet are not necessarily the brightest crayon in the box, however they will do anything to make their loved ones happy. Don't misuse their trust or let them down, because they can easily fall down the wrong path. If they've wronged you in some way, they will do all it takes to redeem themselves.
Viet is so kind!

The word VIET is not just a shorter way to say Vietnamese. It can be an actual name. I once knew a guy named Viet who was very quiet and mean looking. But inside he was a softie! Viets are very nice people!
