Karen is a pejorative slang term typically used to refer to a middle class woman who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who "use their white and class privilege to demand their own way

It's just a given name.

Some famous people named Karen include Karen Allen, the actress who was in films like Animal House, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Starman and The Sandlot.

Karen Grassle, the actress who had roles in television programs like Little House on the Prairie and Loveboat.

And the singer, Karen Carpenter, who along with her brother and musical partner, Richard Carpenter had hit songs like Looking For Love, (They long to be) Close To You and Rainy Days and Mondays.

Really? Youve never heard that? A "karen" is an obnoxious entitled woman.

The kind of woman screams at you for walking on the wrong side walk.

A woman who doesnt like your dog so pretends to be bitten by it.

Those who protest passionately but dont understand what exactly thier protesting.

A Karen is a member of a tribe in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. As far as I know the Karens are in revolt against the military government over there!🤔

Apparently, the male equivalent of a “Karen” is a “Carl”. I know a few Karens and Carls and they don’t appreciate their name being used as a stereotype. I don’t blame them. And I know a Dick who probably isn’t thrilled either lol

I think a Karen refers to a kind, nice and well respectable female

A royal pain

I think a lady called Karen once got filmed being a bit mean spirited or something, it became a bit of a thing.
It’s silly really and a bit hurtful to people with that name.

It's a lady thats overly sweet and kind

Karen’s are usually entitled women and are usually the kind of women who are on the board of some HOA (or think they are), and complain about absurd perceived rule infractions. They’re up in everyone’s business, and have no problem confronting a complete stranger.

These days it refers to a certain sort of arrogant woman demanding to "speak to the manager" and thereby receive some kind of special treatment.

I believe this woman may be the origin of the term.

Someone who cares and judges others beyond any reflection. They are nearly perfect and everyone is beneath, thus making them entitled to judge (to themselves). It's also now a slippery slope anyone also can use to judge a Karen.

It was a term coined during Peak Covid to describe all the 'crazy people'. Those of us who consciously chose to oppose Covid rules and reject jabs, masks, etc. have all been laughing at the 'crazy people' since.

Karen wants to speak to the manager.
Karen thinks she’s the queen and should be treated more special than everyone else.

Usually she nags a lot

A "Karen" is the AAVE term for a woman who uses her privilege to bully strangers, usually service people, waitstaff, clerks, cashiers, or those whom she sees as "less than".

an "I demand to see the manager" type.

Not a term I use.

Another one of those ridiculous disparaging slang terms to put a woman down who is behaving in a way many think they are superior too.

Look up Karen videos on YouTube, you'll see

Educate me

Why just white women?

It’s stereotype of an arrogant entitled shopper with an attitude .. usually a middle aged blond with a short haircut “Karen wants to talk to the manager” type

Beeyotch know-it-all

Was this woman Asian of unclear specificity?
