I hate all grammatically incorrect terms. Tom Send a noteboard - 11/10/2018 01:02:37 AM

"Woke" is the past tense of "wake". As an adjective it would be "awake" or, if we're going to use an awkward participle, "woken (up)".

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

We hate the term “woke “ as well. damookster - 10/10/2018 08:05:14 PM 241 Views
Funny you should mention this.... Jeordam - 10/10/2018 09:08:28 PM 219 Views
Now you got me looking up the etymology of 'woke'. It's interesting, though. Legolas - 10/10/2018 09:43:49 PM 364 Views
Not that I trust Wikipedia Jeordam - 10/10/2018 10:01:49 PM 239 Views
That's a matter of perspective, I guess. Legolas - 10/10/2018 10:57:54 PM 284 Views

That was also interesting - knew some of it, but some was news to me. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2018 11:32:30 PM 112 Views
I don't think "woke" comes from that, though. You sound like you read Albion's Seed. Tom - 11/10/2018 01:07:50 AM 258 Views
Not directly. I've read other stuff here and there that cited that work, though *NM* Cannoli - 15/10/2018 06:04:34 PM 97 Views
I was familiar with the lyric in the Lead Belly song because I love me some Delta blues. damookster - 10/10/2018 10:05:51 PM 220 Views
Wait, so you hate the term 'woke' but you just accused yourself of cultural appropriation? *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2018 11:00:25 PM 159 Views
not necessarily me although yes, I have to a degree. More whites in general. damookster - 11/10/2018 01:01:31 AM 262 Views
