Woke Word of the Day – November 27, 2025
- Folx
Definition: The word “folks” after it’s been dragged into a gender-studies seminar, beaten senseless, and had an “x” stapled to it so nobody feels excluded (except, y’know, people with basic literacy).
Origin story: Born around 2016 in the fever swamps of Tumblr and academic Slack channels, “folx” was the love child of queer theory and a spelling bee dropout. First documented in zines that nobody read, it exploded in 2020 when corporate HR discovered they could virtue-signal in 5 letters instead of 5 whole ones.
Congratulations Leftards, you’ve turned a perfectly good, gender-neutral Appalachian greeting into a dog whistle that screams “I have a $180k gender-studies degree and still work at a coffee shop.” Next up: “peoplx,” “frendx,” and eventually “helx” because the letter P is apparently a hate crime. - Latinx (now proudly upgraded to Latine because even the original woke fix was too colonial)
Definition: A term so beloved by actual Latinos that roughly 97% of them looked at it, shrugged, and went back to saying “Latino/Latina” like normal human beings.
Origin story: Concocted in 2004 by ivory-tower gringos who decided Spanish—a language with gendered nouns baked in for 800 years—was suddenly problematic. By 2021 the Biden White House was using it in official statements, proving once and for all that nothing says “I respect your culture” like mangling it for Twitter clout.
Congrats again, Democrats: Nothing screams cultural sensitivity like a bunch of pasty academics telling 600 million Spanish speakers their own language is bigoted. Bonus points: the people who insist on “Latine” can’t even roll an R to save their lives. Imagine colonizing a language so hard you invent a word that literally nobody in Latin America asked for. Peak gringo energy. White woke women, you know. - BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color)
Definition: A clunky acronym invented to give certain minority groups VIP status in the oppression Olympics while quietly telling Asians and others to sit at the kids’ table.
Origin story: Popped up around 2013 in North American activist circles as “POC” wasn’t hierarchical enough. By 2020 every corporate diversity memo had to include it or risk a Twitter mob. Fun fact: the same people who say “learn to code” is violence will deadname you for forgetting the sacred order of the letters.
Leftard Note: Because nothing unites the “global majority” like a made-up acronym that literally segregates non-white people into tiers of victimhood. It’s like the Woke Hunger Games—may the odds be ever in your melanin’s favor! Meanwhile, actual black and brown people are out here just trying to pay rent while Chad in HR gets a raise for adding another rainbow filter to the Slack emoji. Truly the civil-rights struggle of our time.

Happy Thanksgiving Fam! I’m here to help you skip the scramble-gift-buying struggle this year for the holidays. Thousands of you are already customers of The Wellness Company, and you know they are NOT big on promotional sales…. EXCEPT once a year for Black Friday. Literally, it’s the only major sale they have annually.
