A term that was supposed to mean something good (being aware to social injustice and discrimination), but now it has turned into an insult that means "overly sensitive" or "pretending to be woke". Mostly used against the actual pseudo-woke, but sometimes used against ordinary people who have enough ACTUAL wokeness to call out the insult user's blatant racism/sexist/etc.
It practically got ruined by the pseudo-wokeness seen in Twitter warriors and "progressive" companies.
Having enough wokeness to recognize actual bigotry is a good thing, but please don't be a Twitter warrior.

Little sibling who just learned the word "woke": Hey I am proud to be woke
Older sibling: You shouldn't call yourself woke in public or online. That word has turned into an insult used against those pretending to be woke, like in being overly sensitive to the smallest details that are somehow "racist" or "sexist" by some warped logic or by straight-up discriminating against white people and men as an attempt to "counter" discrimination against people of color and women. Long story short they'll think you're oversensitive or even a hypocritical bigot.
Little sibling who now knows why the term "woke" has a stained reputation: Ok thanks for reminding me about this.

Get the wokemug. Woke Putin was a war hero from the years 1377-1438. He fought to make Dreamywar and Ambastler, his grandparents happy in the Hundred Year War. He was born in Schweinfurt, Germany in the year 1361. He fought in Fickmuhlen, a town in Niedersachsen when he was 19. He had very hard years as his parents, Nizza and Trump left Woke Putin when he was 61. He tragically was very goonicidal and died from gooning too hard in his pants.
"We remember Woke Putin forever!" Woke Bird the 7th, Woke Putin's great great great great great great great grandson in 2011 at 89 years old.

Get the Woke Putinmug. The latest Conservative buzzword for people who don't toe the Conservative line. First they called anyone who disagreed with them a communist. Then they called us socialists. Then it was virtue signalling. Then it was cancel culture. Now they've gone for 'woke'. It all means the same thing, which is "while I pretend to uphold freedom of speech I am going to apply this convenient buzz word to silence yours because it threatens my privilege".
Conservative: *Attacks a minority*
Progressive: "Stop being an arsehoke toward these people"
Conservative: "Woke bla bla bla... Something about virtue signalling and snowflake"

Get the Wokemug. Hym "I didn't 'Go Woke!' You motherfuckers went woke! You're canceling the tranny and by extension fucking with my beer of choice. You tried to hoist me on my own petard because you thought you were clever. Meatball Ron is over there banning a show the might be a subsidiarity element of my thing. You went FULL woke overnight on Oct 8th. I'm not the fucking woke one here. You politics idiot have literally 1 move. Uno reverse all the way. You're just doing now the shit THEY were doing UP UNTIL now. My consistency is unparalleled. You want and are trying to leverage my situation to get me to do Jordan's work-salesmen nonsense. And the situation itself is wrong (on it's face) under the auspices of your purported 'values.' You fucking charlatans. Each and every one of you."
