Incredibly self-righteous and over-confident woman who often rudely calls out others and threatens extreme action when she encounters situations that differ from her idea of what's correct. Often set-off by issue of morality and fairness, and she knows neither....
The kids were all lined up, but a Karen arrived and put her kin in the front of the line because she said that he was having an exceptionally bad day. Was surrounded on the sidewalk by too much "whiteness".

A Karen refers to a person, almost always a woman, who goes above and beyond to inconvenience others in pursuit of what she wants.
Karens are natively found in grocery stores- especially Walmart- thrift stores, and children’s soccer games. You can spot a Karen by their obtusely short and blonde haircuts, bad eyeliner, cheap runners, the Starbucks drinks they seem to pull out of thin air, and the burning need to speak to managers.
Karen’s also see the need to interject their opinions on every single living person in their radius, even if no one asks or fucking cares. They will also attack you based on any and all opinions and beliefs that don’t align with their self righteous mentality, and will go to the grave trying to destroy you or your business over bullshit that’s not any of their concern (not to be confused with a debater). They will also whine about anything and everything in their lives to garner pity from friends and family simply because their miserable with their life.
If someone calls you a Karen, you need to seriously re-evaluate what you’re doing in that moment, or even with your life because honey, that ain’t it. In short, back the fuck off and walk away. It’s for the best.

Example 1:
Karen: Wear your mask!
Person: I have a medical condition so I can’t.
Karen: Do I look like I give a fuck about your ‘medical condition’ when you’re endangering everyone around you!? And keep your crotch goblins away from me they’re probably crawling it’s disease.
Example 2:
Karen: Let me speak the manager.
Employee: I Sure thing ma’am, let me call-
Karen: Did you just call me ‘ma’am’? How dare you, I will get you fired for this.

A derogatory term generated on the internet which is used to describe women who attempt to express themselves. It used to refer to women of a certain “type” who caused trouble in unnecessary situations or complained about trivial things, but more and more it is used to refer to women in general who speak their minds about any topic. There is no widely accepted equivalent for men who ask to speak to managers, who get angry about something in public, or who speak their minds, therefore this is a chauvinistic term and unacceptable for use in an educated modern society.
A woman expresses a thought or opinion
Others: “Ok, Karen”
Stacy has no response because she doesn’t know anyone named Karen and has just been dismissed and invalidated by two words.

Barista 1: Ugh this old lady wants me to remake her drink order because I accidentally used soy instead of almond milk.
Barista 2: She should just shut up and accept it. What a Karen.
