Anyway, in addition to my dad (somewhat incorrectly) using the term woke. Yesterday an administrator from the school grounds asked me if I’d heard of the term/knew what it meant. I said yes and started to explain. No one likes my literal and historical explanations with large vocabulary, so I got talked over LOL. He tried to explain ‘woke’ to one of his peers with the help of another Boomer. Anyway, none of them appear to know what woke means in the true sense (they were using it in the cynical pop culture way) or where it came from. Language is interesting, but woke is probably not a term that should’ve been adopted by the wider public, given the importance of its original context.
