Texas does not have a monopoly on y’all. Y’all is collective, both as a noun, and as ownership. Y’all is Southern for Comrade.

Its not woke. If its been around for awhile, its not woke. Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.

“Trigger” is a woke word when you say “Im so triggered by that”. However in this context “Johnny, do not pull down that lever, it will trigger the breaker box” is not woke.

Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.

So works (or phrases) like:

  • Civil rights Act of 1964
  • Equal Pay Act of 1963
  • Brown v. Bd. of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)
  • Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967)
  • Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015)

How long do you think the word woke, with any of the definitions (specifically the original), has been in use?

I do not know. I first heard the term back around 2019 I believe and I always used an “urban dictonary” definition.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
