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.

Sweet loving person, who like to binge sometimes, while some Karen’s are complete bitches some are not and are misunderstood, they are judged by there name just because an entitled white woman was named karen does not mean all of them are and they don’t deserve that hate that most people give them.
“She’s sweet I bet she’s a Jenny!”
“No she’s actually a Karen believe it or not”
“Poor girl she must be misunderstood”
“Yeah”
“No she’s actually a Karen believe it or not”
“Poor girl she must be misunderstood”
“Yeah”

A woman who calls the manger. You can often find Kens as well.(male versions of Karens.) Beware: They will not hesitate to call the police on themselves.

A racial slur against white women that perpetuates a stereotype that they're an inherently belligerent and argumentative people.
Taco bell employee: "Sorry for the wait, some Karen held up the line."
You: "That's a very racist thing to say and you shouldn't say it again."
