Wokeness, it might be said, is a prick that penetrates. And periodically, modern enlightenment injects itself in a notable way. Step by step, society becomes fuller of the fluid that refines — plunged into compliance by a social-justice syringe.
Apropos of progressive puncture, a milestone was recently witnessed by fans of a TV titan: Via a question, “Jeopardy!” showcased its cultural relevance.
A contestant named Cris selected the category of “Speech! Parts of Speech!” for $600. The big blue screen displayed the following:
Xem, Xyrs, Xemself
In times past, the above might’ve looked like gibberish. But a sexual and linguistic revolution has come on strong; knowledge of the terms now indicates one’s social intelligence.
Cris answered expertly:
“What are pronouns.”
Jeopardy asked about xem/xyrs/xemself “pronouns” during last night’s show
How would you answer this?
