Woke ?

[Graham Payne]

I have heard the word WOKE plenty of times.
What does it mean ?
I have no idea, it must be a word the young sprogs use nowadays.

[Tony Taylor]

Graham, its a system developed by useless tossers with nothing better to do; mainly to annoy and frustrate decent people .

Hi Vernon.
Thanks for that , I had an idea what it meant but now that article raise another thought, what the hell is African American English, there's on;y one English Language and that is the Kings English, all the rest are familiar jargon.

WOKE.
You are no longer male or female, words such as they are used rather than he or she.
No longer can you address someone as Sir or Madam, you must be non binary.???????

On name badges after the name will be he or she.
I received such a badge and crossed out that bit.

When asked why I told them I have a name , I am not a he or she. Did not go down well.

to be absolutely safe you should adopt the local vernacular, e.g. hoy yee, in this area will get you a response from anyone, male or female and most likely any dogs wandering around.
