Thread Name: BS: new words / usage
Subject: RE: BS: new words / usage
'Woke', coming from 'awakened', makes sense. 'Grok' is a more-than-usually primitive caveman in the BC cartoon, and I think that is a good use for a word that sounds like that.

My mother used 'simp' to refer to a weak, cringing woman. I think it came from 'simper.'
