Used to be an ordinary name.
Now, it's the hot new socially acceptable way to publicly insult women, and have everyone laugh along.
Interchangeable with words like "cunt" and "bitch".
For a while, it was used to describe entitled women who cause trouble in public. Overuse of the term has broadened it's definition to any woman who isn't constantly friendly and agreeable, or a woman who is in any way confrontational.
"That lady told me to move my truck out of the handicap spot. What a Karen."
Some Karen’s I actually feel bad for, because they aren’t a Karen at all. They are kind-hearted and trustworthy people. But… if your friends with a “LET ME SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER” Karen.. yeah… they are pretty self explanatory.
Cashier: Ma’am your total will be… $146.95.
Karen: $146.95!?!?
Cashier: Yeah?
Karen: What is this grocery store running?!? A full on fancy restaurant with fancylittle napkins?!? Ugh!!
Usually females but some are considered males a.k.a. Kevin's. The Natural Habitat they live in is big companies such as Walmart, target, and also fast food companies such as McDonalds etc. When they do not get their way they ask to speak to the manager or they try to call the cops. Do not become one of these people.
