    Such a strange insult, know it all. Right up there with “do-gooder”. Am I? Okay.

      See also: social justice warrior. That sounds badass as fuck when you look at the words themselves rather than the misanthropic brainwashing behind the expression!

        Add ‘woke’ to that list tbh. I have no idea how that word went from meaning a good thing to meaning a bad thing. If you watch the first ‘Shazam!’ movie, the word is used in a positive light when a character tells someone to get woke. Now at the time of the second Shazam! movie the word means something different with a negative connotation.
