In the ever-evolving landscape of societal norms, the concept of 'wokeness' continues to permeate various aspects of our lives.

Recently, this phenomenon made a significant appearance on the popular television show "Jeopardy!" demonstrating its cultural relevance.

During a recent episode, a contestant named Cris chose the category "Speech! Parts of Speech!" for $600. The clue presented was "Xem, Xyrs, Xemself," terms that might have been considered nonsensical in the past. However, in the context of the ongoing sexual and linguistic revolution, these terms have come to represent a measure of one's social intelligence.

Cris responded correctly, stating, "What are pronouns." The host, Ken Jennings, a former "Jeopardy!" champion, confirmed, "Those are pronouns. Neo-pronouns." These terms, once considered 'neo,' are rapidly becoming mainstream, reflecting the changing dynamics of language and identity.

This is not the first time "Jeopardy!" has acknowledged contemporary societal shifts. In 2021, the show welcomed Amy Schneider, a contestant who made history by becoming the highest-earning female contestant in the game show's nearly 57-year run. Schneider, a native of Oakland, California, also became the show's first transgender contestant to qualify for the Tournament of Champions.

However, not all viewers were pleased with the inclusion of neo-pronouns in the game show. Some social media users expressed their disapproval, highlighting the polarizing nature of these linguistic changes.
