[Ads-l] Jidori - 2009 TM, 2011 use

[Theresa Fisher]

For a news piece, I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on the emergence
and use of "woke" as a slang term for aware. Here's an example, from an
movie review: "A brief conversation with the Kappas makes Teddy realize
just how misogynist the parties he threw in college were. Newly *woke*, he
decides to advise the sorority."

Some version of awake (maybe not "woke") seems like a natural way of
expressing awareness (social, cultural, literal). Any insight appreciated.
Thanks.
