You have proved the very point made earlier on. You interpret it as that, which I have to say is at variance with dictionaries, and are saying that it means what you want it to mean. You are almost acting as a reverse ‘woker’ (if that is the word). (Unless your post is actually satire.)
Agree. 100%.
I've only just started reading this thread. I still don't really know what 'woke' means.
But for my two euro cents' worth:
Depending on what you mean by "recently" - I proffer the expression "back to back" - which I only first encountered on the (dreadful) Voice of America Europe radio (which was not the same Voice of America, except for the news bits) in 1990.
The most annoying, inane, illogical expression introduced into ANY language by our Americian cousins, some of whom, presumbably, had trouble saying (and surelyi speliing) the word "consecutive".
Not a new word, but it seems to have inundated much discussion in recent years, is the excessive use of the word "literally" which is frequently used when it isn't - including by BBC commentators.
If someone drops dead, they drop dead. That's it! They don't "literally" drop dead. It is either false usage, or redundant.
