Using an improper word in an incorrect tense to attempt to attach some worldly signifigance to a person or object (books, screenplay, etc.) so that one appears to be "hip." In actual fact, this usage shows one's ignorance and inability to use words and feelings to express oneself properly.
A celebrity guest on Talking Dead used "woke" to describe the episode of The Walking Dead when elightened or relevant may have made better choices. Keep in mind that this is a fictional show about Zombies.

To be awake/illuminated to the most important topics of human existence. These topics are what people are going to read about 100 years from now, things like the American power elite, Donald Trump/Jared Kushner, perpetual warfare, applied quantum physics, advanced AI, aliens, the next world war, nuclear proliferation etc, not stupid shit like affirmative action or utterly meaningless LGBT identity struggles. People who claim to be woke on the latter examples are idiotic charalatans who are still asleep and who will be forgotten by the pages of history (cough SJWs cough).
Being a SJW doesn’t make you woke, understanding the tides and nuances of historical, spiritual and scientific destiny makes you woke.

Someone from "Woke"-ingham England
Dude, is she Woke?
Yeah, she's pretty insight-
No, is she like from "WOKE"-ingham, England?
Uh, maybe?
Because that's what "WOKE" means.

Otherwise she's not "WOKE"
...
Because that's all that "WOKE" means

The peculiar state in which a person is for the first time able to grasp certain spiritual ideals, while at the same time not yet being able to really live up to them. The person is therefore specifically tempted to judge others who apparently don't live up to these ideals.
Woke Person: "Dude, have you seen these shitheads driving their fat cars? They really didn't get the message."

Dude: "Ah comon bro, stop acting so woke."

Woke Person: "You're right dude. I realize a part of me would also like to have such a car. I should take some honest time with myself and get really clear about my priorities. D'oh."

A word meant to replace the word enlightened usually used by people who were brainwashed by the Illuminati or is a part of the Illuminati cult. The word is usually used in reference to a fictional 8-year-old child, usually claimed to be their own biological child, in unusual and extreme political bias that the child supposedly said that is meant to sound intelligent. Unfortunately, if the child is real it points to the possibility that a few children may have been politically abused by the propaganda and dogma that their parents believe something of which was caused by fake news.
My woke 8-year-old child just told me how afraid he is of our new president because our new president is going gas us all just like the Nazis did to the Jews. All who voted for Trump are Nazi worshiping white supremacist murders.

A state of enlightened understanding, particularly related to issues of race and social justice. Someone who is woke is aware of issues of injustice and inequality, unlike those who might say they are colorblind.
Did he just say that Mandatory Minimum Drug Sentencing was a racist policy? That is the most woke white boy I've ever met.
