Although there is no agreed definition, the word 'woke' generally means awareness of social or racial injustice.
It can be used in the pejorative as an accusation and a put-down, although this is not how it arose in the black communities.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”
