An overprotective mom, or human being that is not an "I NEED TO TALK TO THE MANAGER!". And I know this because my mom... is a Karen, also (Karens will abuse you for no reason)

An angry, middle-aged, white lady who gets upset at the smallest inconvenience. Karens think they are above everyone and have the worst fashion sense. Anything different from Karen is immediately seen as a threat, and she will make it known she is upset by throwing a temper tantrum in a public environment.
Person A: Oh no, Karen's yelling at the barista again.
Person B: Really?! That's so Karen. What's she saying?
Karen: I asked for a mocha latte, NOT a latte mocha! Are you retarded or something?! Do you know who I am?! LET ME SEE YOUR MANAGER. NO, I'M NOT GOING TO WEAR A MASK! OMG I'M DYING SOMEONE SAVE MEEE

An innocent person, typically considered a white, blonde female, who would normally be totally nice and 'cool' with and towards people, but is highly provoked by agent provocateurs into flipping out. The said provocateurs would them claim that the woman acted from a place of white privilege, when really she was reaction rationally to the level of provocation by criminally minded people from any walk of life.
OMG, remember the sweetest, most quiet girl with a flower in her hair from high school who no one ever did anything for but tease and taunt. Well, she totally Karen'd out because someone at the grocery store wouldn't honor her coupons for yogurt and the 'Karen' desperately needed to eat because all of her provocateurs created a world in which she can no longer make a living. And that Karen has no family members to help her or large groups of mobbing crowds on, say, a crowdfunding page.

Karen is a fictional character created on the popular social media platform tiktok. It’s often teenagers putting towels over their heads and making typical mom jokes. She can be funny, but also quite rude. (This definition is for the moms concern for their children)

A painfully frustrating person who demands to buy items that don't exist while also refusing to listen to reason.
Joe: Deaf Karen was in again today demanding to buy that chopping board she ordered.
Dale: That's the 4th time this week, we haven't had time to make it yet!!!
Joe: uh-huh

The term given for when one chooses not to delve into “Karen” like excessiveness about a certain issue - yet by saying so encompasses all that a “Karen” would say in a sentence therefore using less time and energy on someone not deserving of time or energy.
“ I don’t give a Karen” could particularly be used to flip someone off.
