Woke
Woke wasn't an insult to begin with, but then the stickinthemuds got hold of it and started using it as one- and those of us who identify with a gentler, kinder, more considerate, more thoughtful, more questioning ethos than the one embraced by the Daily Mail meekly accepted the downgrade and started backing down and apologising.
In the same way, a decade or two back, believers in sexual equality found themselves going, "I'm not a feminist, but..." because the stickinthemuds had done a number on the word.
Well, I'm not having it. I refuse to let the old fools write my script. I like the word. And I'm reclaiming it.
Yeah, I'm woke.
Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke.....
Whatcha' gonna do about it, punk!
Also, since you ask, I fully identify as a snowflake.....
