EN: So woke of you (sarcastic)
The sarcastic younger sibling of 'woke'. It's what you say when someone states the most obvious 'socially aware' take and expects a medal for it. Friend: 'Guys, I think poverty is bad.' You: 'Woke yarn?' It's the Filipino way of saying 'Wow, what a groundbreaking revelation' with a digital eye-roll. It's peak Swardspeak-meets-Gen-Z-internet-culture.
Combination of English loanword 'woke' and Filipino gay lingo/slang 'yarn' (a stylized form of 'iyan' or 'that').
Almost always used sarcastically or ironically. A very contemporary slang phrase popular on social media.
