A word that conservative old out-of-touch white people use to describe progressive concepts to other conservative old out-of-touch white people in way that will scare them
we can’t bring the kids to Disney anymore. Jimbo said last time he went, the woke employees were requiring vaccinations to common illnesses and not segregating the water fountains

Get the Wokemug. The belief that all forms of pop culture have always been "woke" while they are also simultaneously in need of being "updated for modern audiences".
Person 1: Dude, everything is always been woke! But we also need to change them so that nobody today gets offended.
Person 2: Sounds like Schrödinger's Wokeness: everything always was - and never was - woke. smh...

Get the Schrödinger's Wokenessmug. Someone who truly began seeing things as they are, someone who can't be affected by propaganda, someone who can tell a lie from truth.

Get the neo-wokemug. "Woke" describes anyone who understands the following...
If a white person participates in a different culture, that's called cultural appropriation.
If a white person doesn't participate in a different culture, that's called non-inclusive.
If a white person moves into a neighborhood populated by minorities, that's called gentrification.
If a white person moves out of a neighborhood populated by minorities, it's called white flight.
If a white person pays attention to skin color, that's called racism.
If a white person doesn't pay attention to skin color, that's called ignoring racism.
Basically "woke" means understanding white people can't do anything good simply because they were born with white skin.

Yo, I'm woke enough to see that cracker ain't nothing. Black pride!

Get the Wokemug. These days if you're not considered racist enough you get called "woke," which is apparently considered an insult -- at least, the racists think it's insulting. The rest of us, not so much.

Get the wokemug. 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.
