Woke is the past tense of wake. Like so many words these days, its meaning has been changed/manipulated by social engineers. It is now used to deride people who are politically correct, virtue-signalers, Leftists, etc.

I prefer the old description for these people: arseholes.

So many words - so many different connotations.
So many different usages.

I prefer the word "Ignoramus" for someone who's
both stupid and an asshole.
( But make sure you're not the toilet paper).

Then there's the word " Prick"- especially if
you're dealing with someone who's a total cactus.

And of course - there's the old - "Jerk" and "Dick."

"F-wit." and we could go on, and on. But most of us
stop "kvetching" - because it's rude.

Talking about words - how many of us know
where the origins of many of the words that we
use come from?

Words like - Chutzpah, klutz, glitch, kerfuffle,
kow-tow, apparatchik, hazard, juggernaut, to mention
just a few.

The term Woke was only recently introduced by the indoctrinated & designed to refer to themselves as "Woke" as in supposedly being more aware than the lesser educated. Little did they know how this term actually exposed their meagre mentality. It back-fired within a very short time. Woke is now generally accepted to describe half-baked pseudo intellectuals making a nuisance of themselves everywhere !

Foxy,

etymology or entomology?

Shadow Minister,

you asked about etymology?

Be careful of the words you say
Keep them short and sweet
You never know, from day to day
Which ones you'll have to eat.

You asked about entomology?

I wish I was a glow-worm
A glow-worm's never glum
How can you be unhappy
When a light shines out your bum.
