A woman, typically with hair cut short on one side and hair down to their neck on the other, who thinks they are above the law and is unnecessarily mean to employees of stores or restaurants or members of the police. They are generally either insecure or extremely self-centered, and you should avoid them. They are really toxic people and not very good friends. They might also be quite racist or LGBTQ-phobic.
"Hey, look at that lady screaming at that cop!"

Karen is a commonly known and used word among young people in english speaking countries(primarily the USA & Canada. The name Karen evokes thoughts of repeated entitlement among middle to upper aged women (although occasionally including people as young as early to mid 20s). Karen, as a term, a name and a lifestyle is known and used enough to warrant entire communities to spring up calling out one time freak outs and repeat offenses by these unwarrantedly rude and obnoxious members of society, the most well known of which being r/EntitledKarens on Reddit. Karens will also often play the victim card when called out, either claiming the person they were harassing was doing something to them or desperately seeking the approval of other Karens on facebook for their actions, hoping that the sheer amount of entitled screaming in response to said calling out will get the innocent fast food worker to either get fired or become obedient to what they want. This my friends, is the classic Karen.

A 'Karen' is a white woman that CALLS 911 on a Black person over a small issue; like a Black child selling water, or a Black man with an unleashed dog in the park. It is NOT, just any white woman RANTING about something.
That KAREN just got charged with calling 911 unnecessarily, while reporting a Black man not keeping his distance on the pathway. (TRUE STORY).
