Karen

The Karen, or as it’s officially known “The Complainus Americanum”. Easily identified by its distinctively short mane, volatile nature and extreme aggression. The Karen is at its most dangerous when unknowingly already talking to the manager or proven wrong. The introduction of video recording equipment to its proximity will result in hysterical tantrums or acts of violence. The introduction of law enforcement can yield similar results.
Their diet consists of kids on skateboards, the homeless and service staff. Essentially anyone belonging to the genus “Minimus Wagus”.
They are also often seen consuming gin or soy/almond milk coffee that is known to trigger sudden aggression if not prepared correctly.
The Karen threw the coffee that was “too hot” In the face of the manager after it identifying itself, seemingly oblivious to the sage it was in. The Karen then fell to the floor screaming “You’ve assaulted me” until it became aware of the members of the public that we’re filming at which point it lashed out violently until retreating to its white 4WD BMW.

Karen

Singular: Karen.
Plural: A homeschool of Karens.

A woman who puts her perceived "reality" above the needs and concerns of others.

A Karen is often narrow-minded, usually unaware of how the world works outside of her personal buble, but always thinks she has the solution if people would just do what she says. This leads to a constant state of entitlement which is how they are most easily recognized.

Many will claim that a Karen is a white woman between 30-50 years of age, but they can be found at any age and any nationality. They are just most common with those particular traits.

Karens can be found on both the extreme left and right political spectrum. On the left you get: aggressive vegans, new age spiritualists, Goop supporters, and organic produce advocates.

While the right is filled with: wealthy stay at home moms who believe their kids can do no wrong, proselytizing evangelicals who believe in prayer over medicine, flat-earthers, Q-anon supporters, and bigots.

Note that all of the above are groups which have a loud and vocal minority. It is part of the selfrighetous belief that they are special because they are part of a small group that is right.

***

A group of Karens is known as a homeschool of Karens. Just like a murder of crows or a parlement of owls, the group name “homeschool” describes the characteristics of a Karen.
One Karen complaining about whether her salad is organic is bad enough. But a homeschool of Karens for Sunday brunch is my own personal hell. - your waiter

Karen

Karen is easily one of the best person on the planet. Gentle, generous, welcoming and a lot of others good things even tho sometimes she's kinda wack ngl. A bit of a Twilight and Harry Potter fan. Possesses bad traits to compensate : Annoying, kinda capable of making a fuss about anything, sort of a teaser(be prepared) and cat lover. A being full of contrast, but possesses such a charm that most of the time that you wouldn't mind her flaws too much. Quite of a hard worker and skilled in many areas such as singing, piano and ukulele but not dancing. Pretty bad at pretending and can easily be spotted when she tries to hide her emotions. Lovely and adorable, definetely a woman of choice who deserves way more than a guacamole.

Crazy, annoying migraine that doesn’t know how to shut up. Most of them are around about 40 or 50 and most of them have a bob cut which can also be referred to as The Karen Haircut. They also want to talk to your manager.
Shop worker: Madam you cannot enter this shop without a face mask. May I give you one?

Karen: ABSOLUTELY NOT! I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION ( she doesn’t have a medical condition she just wants to make a scene) WHICH PREVENTS ME FROM WEARING A MASK THEREFORE I REFUSE TO WEAR A MASK!

Shop worker: Then I’m sorry but you cannot enter this shop. Have a good day.

Karen: HOW DARE YOU! YOU ARE DISGUSTING!

Shop worker: Listen lady if you can’t abide by the rules then GET OUT!
