Polar vortex, virtue signalling and woke....

I'd never heard these terms until recently.... the last two I've only seen here on PPOT . I gotta go back outside now.... wishing for a polar vortex.... can someone 'splain the other two while I'm away?

Thank you ....

They are just made up terms for those that can't think for themselves. Just the sheep that follow the herd.

Virtue signalling is a term meant to cast aspersions on anyone who holds values other than the speaker. Is it virtue signalling to state you are a vegetarian?, that you eat only what you grow? that you eat animals you have trapped or hunted yourself?
Is it virtue signalling to state you use public transport? a bicycle wherever you can? a car that you built yourself? only cars which are built by your fellow countrymen?
In reality, it is a way of saying "everybody else is wrong and I am right.

Woke up.

You guys are so hip. I have no idea what the hell virtue signalling is until not.

Woke is pretty easy. Get it?

What's the hell is mansplaining (sp?)

They are derogatory terms.

It was invented by the "virtuous right "to cast aspersion on lifestyles they don't approve of.

Or that you fly the American flag? Or put your hand over your heart when you sing the nation anthem?

Virtue Signaling is a fine American tradition. It's akin to Patriotism.

AND WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU POST THIS IN PARF? Is it that dead over there that you have to come to PPOT to get attention?

The "Woke" people are currently protesting something, while the virtue signalers are shaming you for not wearing a mask !

if enough woke people virtue signal near the Roswell waves in the mid-latitudes, the polar vortex will be affected

Another term I have never understood is "toxic masculinity". It does not even make sense.

Yep! No woke zone... and you should really catch air on your tube as the cross the woke.

Of course I'm familiar with woke... just figured it wasn't currently referring to the Roadhouse Blues

....it'll be a polar vortex in hell before I need a PARF beer that bad tho'
