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.

Get the Karen mug.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.

Get the Karen mug.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.

Get the Karen mug.Upper middle class conservative white woman from Texas who joins the neighborhood app just so she can keep her nose in everyones business. Karen’s are extremely uppity and entitled they speak down to food workers and house keepers. They expect everyone to have the same belief system as them and they are racist. You’ll catch a Karen triple locking her car every time she goes out to run errands because she perceives diversity as meaning “it’s a bad neighborhood”. She’s completely materialistic likely over weight and over protective of her stuff. She is wasteful and contributes to the mass amounts of plastic clogging up our oceans. She thinks dogs are all dirty and she has no sense of humor. Karen’s will nit pick, micro manage and be extremely passive aggressive. They demand special treatment and understanding yet they are always willing to cross your boundaries and disrespect you. Karen’s are OCD about the most tedious , minuscule things like how to fold a washcloth or a pair of underwear.
