A term used to describe the process of including diversity for the sake of pushing diverse agenda, or where it does not fit. This is very similar to white washing, but usually does the opposite. It most commonly applies to film adaptations of books, who race or gender swap characters to ensure the film cast is diverse, in places where the book or story characters were not. It also applied to historical adaptations in which a character (usually white) from history is portrayed as being some other race than they actually where historically. Can apply to film, video game, comic book, plays, books or any other form of media.
Portraying Achilles as a black man, instead of Mediterranean, is just film makers diversity washing Homer's Greek classic The Iliad...
Using social justice as a marketing strategy
Say, Isn't Drake's "God's plan" music video a bit woke washing? He seems to use his philanthropist-like acts, to promote himself.

-Shaine Casas because according to guys at the Texas pro group he’s an asshole also told a top recruit to not go to his former college out of spite.
-Yannick Angel because of his SA scandal
-Diver Jordan Windel because of texting an underage girl in that way.

A quick soap-free rinse of a plate, cup, or utensil which had recently been used. This is most useful for low-oil, water based, or dry foods. Wiping with a paper towel will usually remove residual food particles missed by the bachelor wash.
1. Since we were out of coffee cups, I bachelor washed the ones from breakfast and filled them up.
2. After a quick bachelor wash, the drinking glass went back in the cupboard.
3. I didn't want my date to think I was a pig, so I bachelor washed the dishes and tossed them in the cupboard.

The common practice of men, where after using a public restroom, instead of actually washing their hands, they simply slightly dampen them under the sink and then dry them on the pants or a paper towel. Thus giving the illusion that they did in fact wash their hands.
She ragged on you about washing your hands? Why didn't you do a courtesy wash?
