A person, usually a white woman but the term in not exclusive, who berates employees of their favorite fast food restaurants and middle-class clothing stores. They can also be spotted in the wild during a fit of road rage, and they nest in suburban areas, where they often scream at their neighbor's kids for skateboarding in the culdesac. These screams can be heard from miles around, and they often make threats to call the police or sue an establishment. Karens often complain to city council, and they make a habit of asking to speak to a manager.
Karens are to be avoided at all costs, or videotaped and posted to social media for a good laugh. If encountered, Karens will avoid taking responsibility for their behavior. They are attracted to minivans, clearance sections, and they are often seen speaking to a manager. (Further research is needed on whether this relationship is mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic. We have a hypothesis this may be parasitic). They will become hostile towards music, skateboarders, and regular people doing their job.

Manager: We have to ask you to leave this restaurant please.
Karen: No I dont think so. They got me a small fry when I paid for a medium, I want a f%$king refund!
Manager: You also already ate them, so I can't give you a refund, Karen. The best I can do is give you the difference of what the cost is, that way you paid for the small fries you ate. I have your reciept, and your money. Please take it and go.
Karen: F%ck you and f%ck your job! I am never coming back here!
Manager(to coworker): Thank God for that! Make sure you get their order right next time so we dont have to do this again, okay?
Coworker: Yes sir, sorry about that. I offered to give Karen medium fries but she already ate the small ones and she was screaming at me and demanding you speak with her.
Manager: I know, its okay.

Get the Karen mug.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.

Get the K-pop Karen mug.A Karen is a designation given to a racist white woman who uses her privilege to hinder, oppress, or inconvenience a black individual. They have a sense of entitlement and a superiority complex that they conjure to place black people in dangerous situations often by the use of lying, police, lying to the police etc. This being said, when you constantly label people as Karens without it dealing with their racist actions to leverage themselves against black people, you dilute and take away the focus from the very real issues that black people face in day to day situations. This is sad because this same appropriation of the term and diverting the true meaning of the term seems exactly like something that a Karen would do!
Black man: A Karen almost got me locked up today.
Friend: That's terrible! What happened?
Black man: While I was moving into my nice new house earlier today she called the police on me and lied to them. She took it upon herself to inform them that a black man was robbing the place. She must not have wanted me as a neighbor or she may have been in disbelief that a black person could afford a house that was bigger than hers.
Friend: Wow that's crazy.
Black man: Yeah. The police arrived in 2 minutes flat!
Friend: That's terrible! What happened?
