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

Acronym for "You Fuckin Whore!"
Most often used as a written or online term of endearment between girlfriends/gay men. When spoken, the full phrase, "You Fuckin Whore", is used, not the acronym. Sometimes used in place of, "I Love You, you're a good friend." Occasionally, (and unwisely), used by a straight male attempting to insult a woman. (Assholes)
"Oh my god, you are so lucky, YFW!" (Showing good-natured envy for someone's good fortune; i.e.: "I wanna be just like you, you lucky bitch!")

Or...

"Hey YFW, been trying to call you all day" (A substitute for the friendly form of 'bitch'.)

Or...

"Oh YFW, You ROCK!" ("Wow, that was so nice of you! I love you, you are the best!" Again, used specifically between friends.)

And...for those extremely brave, straight men who pathetically attempt to use it...

"YFW, I KNOW YOU WERE WITH THAT GUY LAST NIGHT!" , "I Hate you, YFW.", "I hope you die YFW!", "YFW, you brought this shit on yourself." (Self explanatory-BUT-they are still assholes.)
