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.

It is no surprise that gold symbolizes wealth used wisely, but it is also the symbol of good health. People who favor the color gold are optimistic. The Tibetan Buddhist believes in 5 sacred stones: the crystal for light, turquoise for infinity of sea and sky, coral for life and form, gold for the golden ray of the sun, silver for the light of the moon. Gold is intimately linked with Divinity and those gods associated with the Sun. It symbolizes wealth and success.

Rapidly-spreading behavioural disorder marked by inflated sense of self-importance & unwavering belief in deserving special treatment. Condition typically manifests in relentless demands to "see the manager" over trivial issues, an incessant need to complain, & a firm conviction that personal opinions are universal truths; & results in disruptions to social & professional environments, creating tension & stifling cooperation.
The afflicted ("Karens") possess a supernatural ability to detect non-existent customer service violations & are known to demand refunds for items they didn’t purchase. They travel in packs, known as a "Squabble of Karens," often seen in malls, coffee shops, or anywhere with Wi-Fi to fuel their social media rants.
Advanced cases extend beyond stores, leading to workplace disruptions, social isolation, & even public confrontations over perceived slights.
Societal impact includes creating division, hindering progress, & promoting a culture of discord. Online, their self-righteous activism clogs social media with misinformation & cancel-culture campaigns; while in communities, they spearhead NIMBY movements, opposing anything that doesn't align with their narrow worldview.
Professionally, they're notorious for stalling team projects & demanding recognition without merit, ultimately isolating themselves as they wonder why their brilliance isn’t rewarded.
Treatment: A heavy dose of humility, empathy, & exposure to diverse perspectives.

Her Entitlementa Karenitis (noun) /ɛnˈtaɪtəlmɛnʃəˈkærənˌaɪtɪs/) flared up again when the barista spelled her name wrong on the coffee cup, and she insisted on speaking to the manager to demand a free drink.
