There is a point. At this point, hardly a day goes by without some word or term gets deemed unacceptable, rude, violent, racist, whatever.
It can be hard to keep up and it changes constantly. Even words that they chose get unchosen. Nothing is safe or permanent.
To assist is our cut-out-and-keep guide to all the terms the wokerati, (a play on illuminati), have thus far made up.
But keep checking other sources if your concerned and don’t want to be cancelled. Because as I said, it's constantly changing. Good luck!
A = aggression, meaning, micro aggression being used to describe subtle slurs on minority groups whether intentional or not. They don't care. Don't bother apologizing.
B = batters, Cricketers and I am guessing Baseball and Softball players as well? Should all now use this gender-neutral term/word rather than the horribly offensive “batsman”. Damn men. Always sneaking their gender into words. (Yes, that IS sarcasm.)
C = chest-feeding, Staff at a maternity unit in Brighton were strongly encouraged to use this very odd term so as to be more inclusive. To whom? Who else besides a woman with milk filled BREASTS is going to BREAST FEED???
D = different sex, instead of “opposite sex,” which they claim is offensive to people who don’t identify as male or female. So, what are they then? It used to be the ones that were not the majority rule had the issue of figuring out the problem for themselves. Which seems fair to me. This is not the land of perfect.
E = outdoor eating, Students at the American Brandeis University say “picnic” is offensive as they claim it's associated with those in the Deep South watching the lynching of black men. In fact, it’s linked to the French term pique-nique. (The word “pique” would come from the verb "piquer", in the sense of to peck, inspired of the hens which peck seeds. And “nique” would indicate a small thing without value. The juxtaposition of these two terms refers to the fact of pecking small dishes, brought by each one, for a convivial meal in outside.) What is the difference between “nique” and “Pique”?
F = #FBPE, A strange acronym apparently needed to add to your name on Twitter if you’re still upset about Brexit. FBPE stands for “Follow Back pro-European Union”, your inviting others to follow you and share in the frustration. Misery does love company.
G = gestational parent, the person who grows and gives birth to a baby. A woke term/word for “mother”? Huh? Not mine. The person? You expecting a man to take up this mantle? ROFLMAO! NOT happening. Men I LOVE the hell out of Ya all! But they are the biggest babies when they get sick from a head cold! Even IF they could carry a baby 9 months and do a C section.... they just don't have what it takes and that is okay. They are NOT supposed to! WE ARE and WE DO! WE ARE WOMEN and when we have babies, WE ARE MOTHER'S! I am not a gestational parent... makes me sound like an insect.
H = healthy baby, Midwives have been told to cease using the term “big baby” and replace it with this. And human milk is preferred over breast milk. News Flash folks, I am a retired nursing asst. a "big baby" is NOT necessarily a "healthy baby" one does not always imply the other. Furthermore, breast milk is Human milk! It really does not need to be identified.
I = identify, you can apparently identify as almost anything these days and partake of the privileges or otherwise — attached to that. As Piers Morgan mockingly said, he chooses to identify as a penguin. I wonder what privileges he gets from that. Polar club swimming?
J = journey, Blame the X Factor they say? It describes whatever you go through now, even if you never left the house? What the hell does that even mean???
K = Karen, a slang term for a middle-aged, entitled white female who “is privileged”. Woke warriors made the term popular, then banned it for being discriminatory. They canceled themselves. Fools.
L = lived experience, refers to your personal knowledge and experience and also for the term or word lover. The Associated Press recently struck out the word “mistress” as it implies the woman is at fault suggesting “lover” or “companion” is better. I can actually agree with this one. So, they got one right!
M = menstruators, The Guardian caught flak from women (and men) when it used this term in a headline about period pain. But woke advocates prefer it. They say there are women who don’t menstruate and “menstruators” who aren’t women. “Menstruators” who aren’t women? WTH is that??? Splain this to me Lucy?
N = non-binary, a person who claims they don't fit into “male” or “female” genders. Singer Sam Smith declared he was non-binary and prefers to be referred to as they/them. I would have to ask how many of you are in there? Do we need an exorcist? Or are we talking 3 faces of Eve? Like a Psych would work better?
O = organized, you should not casually say you have OCD as that is offensive to people with the condition, instead say: “I am very organized.” Unfortunately, there is a huge difference between being very organized and having OCD which compels a person to do things.
P = pronouns, it's not whether you're a male or female but what your preferred pronouns are. The non-binary Crown actress Emma Corrin said she uses the “she/they” combination. To me that means nothing and makes no sense at all. She is singular, they are plural. Is she confused? Is she a dual personality? Is she just messing with us?
Q = Queer, it was once a slur but now covers a whole spectrum of sexuality and is embraced by stars including Lily Cole, who said recently: “I like that word because of its openness.” Okay...you do you, boo. I think it's rude.
R = Richard, Spotted Dick, a favorite pudding for generations in the U.K. has become the rather more prudish Spotted Richard at Flintshire County Council’s canteen since 2009. So, these free thinkers who are supposed to be making women free and loosening things up are apparently pretty uptight about ... ahem, dicks.
S = speciesism, Bad-mouthing animals, assuming humans are morally superior to animals should be considered a hate crime according to two academics writing in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies. What would this do to the factory farm workers in slaughterhouses? I hate what happens to the animals too but this maybe over the top.
T = they, used by people who don’t identify as he/him or she/her (see non-binary above). Also trigger warning used to warn readers and viewers of “sensitive content”, like in the works of, er, Shakespeare.
U = uncancelled, the woke vigilantes hunt you down and cancel you? Fear not, you can come back better (their double speak) if you learn to play by their rules. They have even done it to themselves with the whole "Karen" episode. But be mindful... their rules keep changing.
V = virtue signaling. You cannot just be woke, you have to jump through hoops on social media by retweeting a myriad of extreme left-wing celebrities' articles and pronounce your solidarity to the world. Gag me.
W = woke. Woke is the past form of “wake” as in you are awake to injustices and will stand against them and ruin the lives of anyone who dares to oppose your point of view. Oh yeah, it also rhymes with “joke”.
X = womxn — the “men” or “man” part of women and woman is considered sexist, and they want us using this unpronounceable non-word. So, now man has a word, and men have a word, but woman does not, and women do not. So, we just erased ourselves. Nice work.
Y = your truth. No one can argue with you as this is what you have experienced or believe. Even if you are clearly wrong/lying. Just ask Amber Heard. She can tell you all about HER truth. But the truth is... there is only ONE truth. THE TRUTH.
Z = Zoomers. After World War Two, we had the baby boomers, and since then we’ve had millennials, Gen X and Y. Zoomers, which comes from the current term Generation Z and refers to the often woke people who were born from the late Nineties to the early Noughties.
