A "Karen" is typically used to refer to an entitled mum, who can be a bit irritating with her frequent requests to "talk to the manager." She may also have a giant bob haircut and drive a Volvo.
At A Fancy Restaurant...
WAITER: What would you like to eat, Ma'am?
KAREN: I'd like a cheeseburger and one fresh pepsi.
WAITER: I'm sorry, Ma'am, but we don't have cheeseburgers on the menu.
KAREN: What is this! Some kind of fancy restaurant! I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!
Other Customers: *all turn and stare*

Get the Karen mug.a meme used by people too lazy to more effectively label or respond to behavior they don't like.
"Hey, Karen, it's all good. It's only a meme, a shield, a scar. We really are nice people, you know..."
Enough of this childish name-meme mania already. People need to stop hiding behind (and abusing at the same time) the names of average people, and just use the terms that fit, whatever they are. I'm sure the name-callers would feel different if it were their names, or their spouse/child's name, or some ethnic/etc label that matches them and that they care about. Grow up, people. The emotional trauma that this callous behavior causes is real.
This may seem to many just light entertainment, just swimming in or reflecting on the cultural context we find ourselves in. Well it sends and amplifies messages far beyond that, and you are responsible for your part in it. Please help the end-result of whatever you do or say in relation to this meme to have a more positive result for the specific people affected, and the maturity of our society in general.

Get the Karen mug.A middle aged woman with blond hair and a bob. They’ll usually say “I’m gonna sue you!” —or—“Where’s your manager?” It honestly gets really annoying at times. Never even try to make conversation with them. Some Karens are good, though. They can be kindhearted. So, if you see a good Karen, feel sorry for them. Feel sorry for their name.
