I have just spent an hour discussing the meaning of WOKE. Without dictionaries or google or any other reference assistance, tell me the meaning of WOKE........

Apparently not.............keep going...........there is relevance to this community (I promise)0

My serious answer without looking in a dictionary would be it is used to refer to someone who is very sensitive to things like rights for black people, gay people etc. Maybe also disabled people which is why you say it’s relevant to this community? Also I’d say it is often used as an insult1

@66Mustang @Teddybear12 .........Yes............when did that happen?
This makes sleep related words 'wake' 'woke' etc just colloquial use of proper words 'awake' 'awoke' etc

I probably first heard it used for that reason in maybe 2018?0

Well, words which are useful, at least currently, survive and others which are no longer useful decline in use and are ultimately consigned to history, survival of the fittest lexically.0
