Someone woke up to discover a new word in the dictionary ...
Lancashire Evening Post
|July 01, 2025
An elderly relative recently described a subject they appeared to hold opinions on stronger than their actual knowledge of as 'woke'.
The context suggested they had decided to wheel out a new word for the first time after reading it in The Daily Telegraph and I was to be their Guinea pig.
It was also clear that they had decided being woke was a bad thing.
Being in the mood for a debate I asked them what it meant and their answer fell some way short of my understanding.
