Woke has become one of my favourite words. It's like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it's woke. He's playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you're just like: oh yeah, i actually don't care. Guess i'm woke then.
When I first started my current job a couple of years ago, there was a discussion going on in the office complaining about 'woke', albeit fairly mildly, which I wasn't really participating in. My boss, who's ex-army asked 'Are you woke Almacca?', to which I replied 'I'm woke as fuck.' She hasn't brought it up again since. :)
The "anti-woke" men at my office once crowned me the "woke police" because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever "jokes". It's my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their "jokes", pretending it was in jest as part of my job as "woke police", while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.
