I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

I would like the word “woke” back.
So ridiculous… I never used the term but understood it basically meaning “mindfulness and accepting humanity”.
Then pop politics took it, stuck their chodes in it, fucked it, dragged it through the streets and shot it in the head.
And now its basically a hate term for anyone that lives with respect towards humanity.
But don’t get me wrong, I hated when people threw it around as conveniently as “lit” or some shit like that.
Now using the word woke basically means you’re too dumb to understand life or your own existence, because it’s only grumpy selfish assholes that use it.
Awake (woke) to human needs, human rights, how broken capitalism is and humanity’s effect on the climate.
No, no, the racists stole it from the black people fair and square, and you know they never give anything back to black people without first shitting on it.
I would also like to roll in to work late and say “sorry, I woke up late” without getting accosted by Ron DeSantis but whachagonnado.
Oh wait that probably isn’t what you meant. How long did the word have it’s original meaning? I feel like it was only a couple of years maximum before it got taken and broken.
In mainstream culture, I feel like it had its original meaning from like 2014 until maybe 2021. Before that it was a part of black culture since like the 1930s. At least that’s what a cursory googling got me.
I guess I picked it up pretty late then.
