***************************************************$POILER*********************************************
'Karen' has become a nickname for argumentative, difficult or 'entitled' women who cause problems, or are perceived as such. My UK friend, whose name is 'Karen', is getting fed up with it now, because her friends and other people tease her, e.g. when she has to give her name. In the USA, Karens abound, and some get arrested or lose their jobs.
