While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya?
Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination.
Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against?
Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work.
Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!

To wake up in a cold sweat is to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night due to the remembering of an anxious moment in your life.

Originally, this word referred to people who were awake about conspiracy theories (at this point, conspiracy facts).
Then, it became a word to refer to SJWs, as the most popular voted definition describes.
