It doesn't mean being offended by everything, which ironically is the ways it's often used by Reform and Daily Mail readers who are easily offended.
No, I mean current bun. Like a hot cross bun, but without the cross.

I did and I am too!Saga Lout wrote: Tue Apr 01, 2025 8:26 pmI think you mean woken up.
However, I'm not entirely happy with Mr Dazzle's definition. It seems to me that to be woke you have to be aware of injustice, prejudice and social issues only as they affect certain groups of people. But what do I know? I'm just an old, straight, white man.
And is that [part of] the point? As another OSWM, I probably don't, can't, understand what it's like to endure permanent ongoing prejudice.Saga Lout wrote: Tue Apr 01, 2025 8:26 pm [But what do I know? I'm just an old, straight, white man.

Odd, really, because many of us OSWM here are likely to have experienced unwarranted anti-motorcyclist prejudice and discrimination.
I've certainly been told to leave an empty (!) pub because they "Don't serve motorcyclists" (I asked whether we - my GF and I - were upsetting the customers?). And other, similar, experiences. Which pale into insignificance, really.
It wasn't that long ago that signs were seen stating "No blacks, no Irish, no dogs". Or that homosexuality was illegal.
It started with good intentions to be "aware of injustice, prejudice and social issues" but gradually morphed into not saying or doing anything to offend anybody*. We're on the road to Hell, aren't we?Taipan wrote: Wed Apr 02, 2025 11:44 am Woke was probably avery good thing to start with, given its original intentions, but is long since been hijacked into a far left movement with little resemblance to the original inception, and based on that, i'd probably agree with Reform UKs use of the word woke.
it's funny how it's mostly the people who suffer the least prejudice who think that, isn't it?Saga Lout wrote: Wed Apr 02, 2025 12:02 pm but gradually morphed into not saying or doing anything to offend anybody*
Almost like they're the ones most often causing offence and least often being on the receiving end.
Sounds like being easily offended to me.
