Woke

[PeteXXX]

If you sing the Blues, it's imperative that the line "Woke up this morning" is included, especially if catching a Southbound train and never seeing your baby again, apparently.

I think it is a horrible word which I will never use.

And yet you started a thread using the word...

it is the one and only time I will use it.

I am even more confused than I was (not that it is too difficult).

Noel Gallagher reckons Glastonbury has gone woke because there are too many 'virtue signalling' performers waving flags and not concentrating on the music.

 

[fritz katzenjammer]

More silliness that will hopefully pass quickly.

And they are usually crap performers as well!!

Alert does not equal hypersensitive.

Could you rewrite that it so that it makes sense?

Makes about as much sense as woke does

H.G. Wells would probably be considered "woke" in modern society.

It's really not that difficult a concept. It's a word which has been hijacked by people to describe things they don't like. See also "snowflake".

The irony of them not understanding how daft they sound is brilliant.

You mean like Y-fronts or Marmite? You'll have to be a bit more specific.

Why?

I'm probably on thin ice because of the "Voting" thread and is already in NCAP territory as it's a highly politicised term these days.
