Quote of the day

Ann Treneman in The Times (formerly a superb political sketch writer) bewails the linguistic fashions:

My word of the week is “woke”, which, when I was in New York recently, I kept seeing used in articles. It’s an African-American political term that, basically, means socially aware, as in a quiz called How Woke Are You?

Well, at this point, I’m woke enough to know that I may not be woke at all.

And so say all of us.
