      It’s too bad another, less common label didn’t come into common usage. I’ve known a number of Karens (and a couple of Chads) that were just people.

        The majority of all names are good people, but if there is one name that has a higher percentage of assholes than others it is probably Karen

          Totally unscientific, but I work in 911 dispatch and I’d say that off the top of my head probably the most common name I get for Karen-type calls is probably Carol, the male equivalent in probably Alan

            Solid boomer names. I’d say Karen’s are more gen-x names. Like I’d think it was a popular baby name in the 60s through 80s.

      I know exactly one Karen, and she’s a beautiful person, inside and out. I’m still gonna laugh at the Karen memes though.

      Given how naming entitled women Karen is an insult to women actually named Karen, I propose we replace “Karen” with Boebert.

      For example: “She asked to see the manager because I wouldn’t honor this expired $1 off coupon for our competitor. Then she said ‘do you know who I am?!!!’ She’s such a Boebert.”
