Woke 18:21 - Aug 24 with 8889 viewsqprxtc

Reading Cilves preview and much fun it was but this word ‘woke’.

I’ve only really noticed it recently and seems to me to be one of those buzzwords that I bleed I g hate because I think it’s having a go at me and makes me think that everything believe in and think is w@nkish.

Bloody stupid word for something that is anti human being. This wish for perfectionism in us that is unachievable and just adds to the cobblers of living.

Woke my ar$e.

1982. The year QPR got to their only FA Cup Final and XTC got their only Top Ten hit with Senses Working Overtime (No.10).

Serendipity innit.

Popularised online during the Black Lives Matter / Ferguson protests in 2013 ("get educated, get woke").

It's like "Political Correctness". By the time it's made it into the mainstream people are already using it sarcastically as a piss-take of the people who came up with the original idea.

Basically, if I've heard of it, it must already be dead. And I spotted it about 18 months ago.

I only became aware of it today due to Clives preview. I prefer to speak in English myself.

But that's just wishful thinking...

I guess to fully understand - "Woke"

You need to understand - "Awoke". First.

?

What does it mean?

Never heard of it, don't know what on Earth it's supposed to mean. Can't imagine i'll ever be using such an ugly word, even if i do manage to find out what it means? A woke Dad? Absolutely mystified.

Googled it. Disappointing. First person i hear using that word in real life, i'm gonna give them a pan straight in the head.

Watching the video clip it appears to be another word for 'snowflakes' or moaning khunts to put it more politely.

In fact, having googled it, i'm trying to figure out if the meaning is supposed to be ironic?

It was used a lot in the Black Lives Matter movement to mean "aware" e.g. to educate oneself, to be politically aware and to understand the dynamics of racism in the US. More generally people sometimes use it to mean "aware of social justice issues", but since white people started using it it's mostly used ironically now. When Anna Soubry was being hailed as the Tory rebel who was going to stop Brexit people referred to her as Woke Soubz ironically.

Thanks for the explanation, hadn't heard it before.

So would Brentford be the football equivalent, Woke FC, or have I still got it wrong?

It's part of the reason every man's sport on Sky has to have a female pundit or commentator. People are not getting jobs because they are the best but they fit a certain 'Woke' category.
