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.

Stereo Karen

A Karen, who thinks that everyone in the world wants to listen to their music. Stereo Karens don't understand what quiet hours are, or why they cannot bring their favorite speakers to a hospital. If they drive a car, they always make sure the windows are down, and their car is sufficiently bouncing from the excess of bass.
"I had to spent 30 minutes next to a stereo karen, while stuck in a traffic jam."
"At least, you don't live next to one. I had to move from my last apartment, because a stereo karen moved next to me and played music every night until 2am."

Dog Karen

A typically middle-aged woman that always seems to find something wrong in an innocuous video about a dog. Dog Karen’s have a primal need to share their usually wrong opinion and bring down the comment section of an otherwise cute video. They think they are “helping” a dog in need when most of the time they are over sensitive and have no idea what they’re talking about.
“Aww look at this cute video about a man rescuing dogs.”
“Better steer clear of the comments, there’s probably a Dog Karen ruining the mood.”
