Rozzychan<p>The original meaning of woke in Black English comes from a comment by a singer after he sang a song about Lynchings in the South.</p><p>He said you need to watch yourself out there.<br>"Stay Woke"</p><p>Whenever conservatives bandy the word around not knowing the meaning, it just reminds me. The people saying this are not your friend. They could hurt you.</p><p>Stay Woke!<br><a href="https://fandom.ink/tags/wordMeanings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wordMeanings</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>I have always been confused by folks’ interpretation of high tea as being a fancy affair. I grew up with the understanding it is just supper. Low tea, however, is fancy-ass. Not sure how the meanings changed so much. I grew up calling the midday meal dinner, the evening meal supper or high tea, and a late night snack was lunch. Breakfast is the only meal name I use that remains unambiguous to most folks. I guess this is what happens when I grow up in the Maritimes and Newfoundland. <a href="https://c.im/tags/meals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meals</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WordMeanings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WordMeanings</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tea</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HighTea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HighTea</span></a></p>
