This is a pejorative word for that person, usually a middle-aged mom, but not always, who annoyingly insists on making sure you and everyone one else follow all rules and laws to the letter.
"Tried to go to the store and was followed around by a bunch of Karens desperately trying to get me to wear a mask for a virus that has a 99.8% fatality rate."

Get the Karen mug.Little Karen is all types of cheese, it can also be used as a name. But the true definition is a small, bitter, angry, cheesy and grim person, who thinks she is the true cheese.

Get the Little Karen mug.Karen, a woman (or rare cases, a man) is a person who is so entitled they are willing to scream at strangers to get what they want. These 'Karens' can be found on public forums such as r/PublicFreakout. The word 'Karen' is used to describe these individuals as 'Karen' is actually a short form standing for:
K- Know your rights
A- Accuse everyone
R- Request a manager
E- Escalate the authorities
N- Neglect reason

Get the Meat Karen mug.A dead meme that has never been funny and is just used to make women feel bad about themselves, controlled, and self-conscious about having an opinion on anything. It's also depressing for girls named Karen who've had to change their names or move schools because of sick people who think using this term is ok.
The meme fell out of favor quickly when people realized their own moms were called Karens for no reason. When women were ruthlessly bullied on the internet because some jerk who wants clout filmed her and tried to portray her in a bad light when she was just trying to live her life. The realization that society hates middle-aged women for existing, women are judged harsher, and this rabid obsessive bullying has no regard for women's humanity from people who spend too much time online and hate women.
Pakistani-American writer, public speaker, and activist Sarah Haider calls the term a "term of abuse" and explains it is used in place of calling women misogynistic slurs and to get away with socially acceptable misogyny.
"The Karen archetype is just the most recent, millenial-sanctioned attempt to keep women in their place," writes Ahmed Pierstorff.

I hate when women defend themselves or even open their mouths, so I'm gonna shut her up and try to embarass her by calling her a Karen.
Even the most boring person on earth shouldn't be using the term Karen at this point. It's the most dead joke ever.
Diminutive of Katherine, Karen is a pretty, sweet, and warm name. Let Karens exist in peace.

Get the Karen mug.A woman, usually middle aged with blonde hair, and always thinks she's in the right, who whenever someone tries to ask her to stop, either calls the police or ask to speak to the manager
store clerk:" ma'am I will have to ask you to put on a mask or leave"
Karen:" this is infringing on my rights as an American, i demand to speak to your manager"
store worker:" well ma'am, *chuckels* I AM THE MANAGER"
Karen:" NANI, IMPOSSIBLE"
