Weinstein
Germanic tartar surname
Weinstein is a German-Jewish surname meaning "wine stone" (referring to grape sedite).
Following Harvey Weinstein's 2017 exposure as a serial sexual predator, the name became culturally radioactive—his case catalyzed the #MeToo movement.
To "pull a Weinstein" or be "Weinsteined" means to face career destruction following sexual misconduct allegations.
