My kid, who has increasingly become my window on popular culture, has been using the term “Karen” as a pejorative. I’m gathering it means some sort of obnoxious female of a certain age.
I find this puzzling. Was there some fictional or real Karen who acted badly? It seems awfully specific
It's a meme floating around and she's getting bashed by a white cat for what she says. It's derogatory. Here's an example: and here's a google: https://www.pinterest.com/karencarlson65/karen-memes/
I've a sick sense of humor. Most of them make me laugh out loud
I think it might come from a movie.
Funny!
White Middle class privileged clueless woman, once known derogatorily as Soccer Mom. She is not Woke.
I have heard her male equivalent is “Chad” but I can’t confirm that.
Yep. It will be a hit - it bashes women, promotes alcohol and assumes that is normal and acceptable. That model has worked for years.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
This has been around for several years. Much is not alcohol based. I don't view it as woman bashing, I view it as idiot bashing. Just as often could be a male.Originally Posted by razz
I fully admit a lot of them make me laugh! When ya live in a redneck state, ya see a LOT of it in real life! I shake my head a LOT! Including at my 40th HS reunion when quite a few still haven't grown up.
The ones being called a Karen are typically self righteous and entitled, and of the Gen X age.
The, "I want to talk to your manager," and "put my kid in to play" type. Also the first ones to whip out a a phone to call the police if she sees 2 or 3 minority folks hanging around.

"Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus
To the best of my knowledge, the place it started was Reddit.
Here is an example of some of the stories that make youtube:
