A Karen is the stereotypical middle aged blonde haired woman that complains about things that don't even bother her. She has a yearning for trouble and thinks of herself very highly ( A Karen is not) and other people as trash. Karen's favourite sentence is "I want to speak to the manager!"
A Karen was shopping for grocery one day when she found a gay couple, she went mad and told them she wanted to speak to their manager, the problem was, they didn't have one.
A Karen was eating at a restaurant with her daughter for her 'half-birthday' when a waitress serves her cake. The Karen takes one look at the cake and shouts: " OH MAH GOD! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME???? DOESN'T EVERYBODY KNOW I'M ALLERGIC TO CHOCOLATE AND PEANUTS??!!" The waitress replies in a calm voice, "Excuse me ma'am, this is a restaurant, people are staring. And also you didn't tell us you were allergic to chocolate and peanuts." Karen gets more angry and shouts, "OH MAH GOD, YOU DARE TALK BACK?? WE'RE LEAVING KATHERINE." The Karen storms off holding her daughter Katherine's hand. The waitress goes, " Let's share this cake with everybody in this restaurant since she didn't like this."
A middle aged women who is nuts, rude, or generally just hard to get along with.
That woman over there was being a Karen telling me I can't wash my car on my driveway.
A pejorative term used by naive Gen-Z to refer to someone who is now 40 years old and is tired of taking people's crap.
Karen: "I'd like to speak to the manager. I don't like X, Y, Z."
Gen-Z: "Sure, ma'am I'll be right back with manager." (fake smile)
Gen-Z in their head: "Goddamn, this woman is such a Karen. Stop complaining."
Karen in her head: "Listen you young cunt. I've been on this Earth for far too long and paid too many tax dollars and have had too many useless, selfish, people take advantage of me to deal with your shit. I've learned that if I don't make a big stink about things then nothing gets done and I'll fight for what's mine."
Somebody, stereotypically female, generally in their late thirties that believes that the world revolves around them. They have been known to shout slurs, occasionally racial or sexual at people because their beliefs, views, gender identity or sexuality do not perfectly align with the Karen. A common misconception is that everyone born the the birth name Karen is indeed, a Karen.
"Damn Stacy's an actual Karen."
A lonely depressed person who loves managers and can't stand peace.
"Do you have a wristband?? No, you're gonna need a wristband to get in. No, no, you can't get in for free.. You know what? Get me your manager."
"Karen, this is a Wendy's drive-through. If you're not gonna order anything please move along, you're holding up the line."
A dead meme that has never been funny and is just used to make women feel bad about themselves, controlled, and self-conscious about having an opinion on anything. It's also depressing for girls named Karen who've had to change their names or move schools because of sick people who think using this term is ok.
The meme fell out of favor quickly when people realized their own moms were called Karens for no reason. When women were ruthlessly bullied on the internet because some jerk who wants clout filmed her and tried to portray her in a bad light when she was just trying to live her life. The realization that society hates middle-aged women for existing, women are judged harsher, and this rabid obsessive bullying has no regard for women's humanity from people who spend too much time online and hate women.
Pakistani-American writer, public speaker, and activist Sarah Haider calls the term a "term of abuse" and explains it is used in place of calling women misogynistic slurs and to get away with socially acceptable misogyny.
"The Karen archetype is just the most recent, millenial-sanctioned attempt to keep women in their place," writes Ahmed Pierstorff.
I hate when women defend themselves or even open their mouths, so I'm gonna shut her up and try to embarass her by calling her a Karen.
Even the most boring person on earth shouldn't be using the term Karen at this point. It's the most dead joke ever.
Diminutive of Katherine, Karen is a pretty, sweet, and warm name. Let Karens exist in peace.
