What does treat yo self mean?


Take care of yourself

Treat yo self is a phrase used to encourage a person to take care of his or her self. The phrase comes from the TV show "Parks and Recreation."

Some past examples include buying clothes, a Batman costume, massages, mimosas, and bling.

2021-09-28 17:30:08 Woke

What does it mean to be woke?


Aware of social issues

A woke person is someone who has "woken up" to modern discrimination and social issues. Examples include cultural differences and racial injustices.

Wokeness is a proclamation and challenge to others, especially those who may be oblivious about discrimination. The challenge is to not give in to pressures from other people and stand firm with those being oppressed.

Woke is often used in the context of "stay woke" or "get woke" and is associated with movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM). In this instance, a woke individual may be a white person who has become aware of privileges they experience because of their skin color.

The term is also politically charged; it is often associated with liberals and denounced by conservatives. You will most likely see or hear it used on social media, in the news, and in in-person discussions regarding race or politics.

Example

"Stay woke, brotha, don't let them brainwash you at school."

2021-09-28 05:30:05 Leftist

What is a leftist in politics?


A person with radical left-wing political views

A leftist is a person who has radical views on the left side of the political spectrum. While great variation exists in Leftism, the main tenant is social equality (often referred to as "socialism"), which is achieved through robust government regulations and high taxation of the rich to help the poor and disadvantaged.

The term comes from "Left" (the left-wing of the political spectrum), which is an idea borne from the French Revolution in the late-1700s. The "Left" and "Right" labels corresponded with where people with liberal or conservative ideas sat in the French Estates General (a legislative assembly).

In modern American politics, the term is primarily used to refer to radical progressives in the Democratic party. It is often interchanged with "liberalism" but is different, being farther on the left side of the spectrum. Some prominent issues important to Leftists include social and economic equality (LGBTQ, feminist, and civil rights movements), environmental conservation, distinct separation of church and state, and anti-nationalism, which some label as Marxist and "Globalism."

Conservatives often use "leftist" to label radical Democrats, such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). You will typically see the term on social media during the election season, in political news articles and blogs, and hear it on 24/7 cable news channels.

Example

"Leftists are ruining this country!"
"OK, boomer."
