The term seems to offend many.
I didn't choose it but if you label me woke I'll wear it with pride. |  |

Hardly a silly example just an example of different meanings of the same word
1. Woke the correct and original meaning as in
I woke up this morning
2. The American New meaning as in
I am woke I recognise social and racial injustice
3 The new UK meaning
Woke easily offered by anything. |
We’ll I haven’t seen the ‘new UK meaning’ as a definition. I will happily accept that it is if you provide a link, then we can happily agree that you are talking about something different to me. | |

I don't have to provide a link it is in common usage throughout the UK and is used daily in newspapers and the media.
No doubt the woke dictionaries will be updated in due time they were last updated in 2017 to include the new American meaning. |  |

So the accepted definition is the one I am using, not the one you want it to be. | |

I think the term woke means you are easily offended by any views which do not conform to your own closed views. Wokes are afraid on any views different from theirs, are not open to free discussion or freedom of speech.
The BBC have gone woke two recent programmes had the following woke warnings on them may contain offensive language and images.
The two programmes were dads army and the good life.
Their woke crimes " dammed foriegners" and Margo wearing a Robertson jam apron while cooking.
Wokes are a more sensitive type than the old PC brigade. |
That's how I see woke too. You don't need to be woke to know there are problems in society, in the world. | |

Some simply want to be seen as more anti racist than anyone else.
Nobody knows what others are like.
It is poster hypocrisy | |

So what do you want to be seen as then? I can imagine what you want and what you are are not the same thing. | |

It’s also peculiar boys in frocks who complain that “it’s rude for a mother and daughter to stare at another ‘woman’s’ penis in the changing rooms.” And stocky girls in dungarees and monkey boots, sporting umpteen face piercings and a jawline not unlike that of a mountain gorilla screeching something unintelligible about being sexually objectified.
Then there’s the rest of us looking around to see if this may be a live episode of Candid Camera? |  |

I agree, but if you take a particular word in context and stay in-context then you can’t change the definition for the sake of argument. |
That’s my point, it isn’t used in context.
Which is why normal people like me are never called “woke”. |  |

Of course I care. Have you seen posts of mine that suggest I don't? | |

You have stumbled across a pretty good area of discussion there.
- The woke assume you don’t care unless you display otherwise.
(Which is why they are always ultra sensitive to anything that may be perceived as an injustice so shout about it all over their social media, it becomes their identity. Even if it becomes apparent there is no injustice there)
- Normal people assume everyone cares unless you display otherwise. | |

Look up the definition of woke and tell me what is you don’t like about it, not what you think it is.
There appears to be three types of people - those who understand the definition, those that understand the definition but don’t like it (god knows you would have had to be dragged up in a sewer to admit to that) and those that simply make up their own definition - probably readers of the Mail, Express, etc, ie those that enjoy being offended by kindness and liberals, and go on and on about snowflakes and stuff, but that’s just a broad stroke.
Anyhow, each to their own, just an interesting little debate to pass the time. | |

If you are aware and you care then you fit the definition.
Sorry bud but you are woke.
Wear it, it’s not a weakness. I don’t use it either but we fit the definition, unless of course we’re talking about the highjack it and misappropriation of the word to insinuate something else, but we’re not. | |

So, so far we’ve established that me, FB. Dr P and Cat are woke, without even realising it.
Who’d’ve thunk it? Anyone else? Don’t be shy.
It’s not a term that I will carry on using or apply to myself, or to you, but who has got the balls to admit to caring? | |

In your OP, you were being described being called “woke”.
Being woke to it’s definition, and being called woke aren’t the same thing. People that aware of injustices aren’t called woke. They are just normal people.
People that are called woke are the ones in the 4 minute video that I provided you that it appears you won’t watch.
Statistically it’s likely that you are a w*nker too (to it’s definition) but it’s very likely that if ever you are called one, it won’t be to that definition. | |

Stir what? Aren’t all opinions valid, and welcomed?
I can’t speak for Keith but I’d take a guess that they are provided they stay within forum rules.
I haven’t broken rules or posted anything offensive so what is it about me saying I’m ‘woke’ by definition that offends you, and leads you to make the quoted post about me? | |

I wouldn’t say you were causing conflict, just being a bit mischievous.
I think it’s because you appear to be conflating dictionary definitions with how the word is used in reality.
The word rarely, if ever, is used to it’s dictionary definition.
But it’s an interesting topic and I don't mind it at all. It gives us the opportunity to discuss why these people are called the term and why they annoy an awful lot of people, including the people they claim to be fighting for. | |

I’ll watch it later.
And I’m sure you’re right, I’ve probably been called a w*nker plenty of time and it has nothing to go do with masturbation. Two different contexts. | |

Same with woke.
When it’s used, it’s not to it’s definition. | |
