Karen

It describes a kind of person who thinks they're entitled to do or say whatever they want, even if it is at the expense of others, and they think they should get away with it. They will throw tantrums when they have to follow the rules or when things don't go their way. They are willing to put their own happiness and comfort over other people's They can be of any race, religion, political ideology, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, age, or economic class.

They are typically racist, though not always. They're notorious for screaming at employees for extremely petty reasons. This often happens at grocery stores (especially those that require a face mask during a pandemic, God forbid!), restaurants, airports/airplanes, schools, the park, and so on.

If a business has a certain rule that is meant to keep customers and employees safe, they will claim that it's not fair to them and that it takes away their freedom. They go on about how much they love "freedom" but will get mad when someone else uses their freedom to do something that they personally don't like. They only want "freedom" for themselves so that they have the "right" to be a nuisance.
Scenario one:

Person 3: "This lady wants to cut in front of the line to vote."
Person 4: "Don't let that Karen cut in line."
Person 5: "HEY! GET IN THE BACK OF THE LINE, KAREN!"

Scenario two:

Karen: "Hey I noticed you're wearing a mask."
Person 6: "Yeah, so?"
Karen: "You know that you don't have to wear a mask here anymore, right? They stopped having mandates."
Person 6: "Yes, I knew about it."
Karen: "So, then why are you wearing a mask?"
Person 6: "Because I think it's a better choice, even if there are no mandates anymore."
Karen: "You have free will, you know. So take it off."
Person 6: "B-but I don't want to-"
Karen: "TAKE OFF YOUR MASK NOW. BE FREE, YOU PEASANT."
Person 6: "If you want me to be 'free', then you'd let me cover my face and leave me alone."
Karen: *Rips the mask off*
Person 6: "LEAVE ME ALONE KAREN!"
Karen: "I'm not a Karen, you are because you put safety over other people's freedom."
Person 6: "Who's freedom am I jeopardizing? I'm the one choosing if for myself. You're the one not letting me be free to wear a mask, after saying I could choose."
Karen: "Yeah, because I thought you'd CHOOSE to do things my way by not wearing a mask. Oh no, that was too honest-"

Karen

A white racist liberal democrat woman, who is overwhelmed with a sense of entitlement. She thinks the worst of minorities and anyone in the service industry. Her ignorance is founded in a lack of logical reasoning and pure irrationality.
That Karen just told the cashier she was a moron because she was black.

Karening

When two or more people get together to complain and discuss ways to improve their anal-retentiveness and make others uncomfortable as a result.
Every morning this group of women walks by my house Karening at the top of their lungs; their poor husbands, always in tow with their tails between their legs.

Karen

A stereotypical name for name for a middle aged white woman who acts with unfairness against others. Borderline racist word. Reason being is because it is important to remember that in western culture when the word “Karen” is used by people, the using the word will 9/10 always be referring to a white woman. There are very few cases where a black woman (who is acting in the same exact manner as a white woman) is called a Karen. This is because “Karen” is apart of stereotypical “simple” names passed against white people such as “Becky”.
Employee 1 (whispering): You see that Karen? Shes always coming in here and asking for the manager even when she already knows the manager will tell her the same thing.

Employee 2 (whispering): I’ve heard. Quick, look away before she sees us staring and reports us to corporate or something.

Employee 1 (whispering): Good idea.
