Urban Dictionary has the best definitions of exactly what a Karen is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKaren is a pejorative term used in the United States and other English-speaking countries for a woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is appropriate or necessary,\u201d says Urban Dictionary.<\/p>\n<p>Another great definition says this: \u201cMiddle aged woman, typically blonde, makes solutions to others\u2019 problems an inconvenience to her although she isn\u2019t even remotely affected. \u2026 Drives either an SUV or a minivan. Can be found complaining to managers at either Burger King, or any McDonald\u2019s with a play area. Drinks crappy wine with her other non-working mom friends at book club and posts stupid memes on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And one last dig: \u201cKarens also own a variety of Walmart running shoes which they wear 24\/7.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But according to a federal agency, new parents are shunning the name in droves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the Social Security Administration, the name \u2018Karen\u2019 dropped 171 spots in baby name rankings for girls in 2020, coming in as the 831st most popular name,\u201d KUTV <a href=\"https:\/\/kutv.com\/news\/offbeat\/baby-name-karen-takes-nose-dive-in-2020-lowest-ranking-since-1920s\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The name is also at its lowest ranking since 1927.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means in 2020, there were just 325 baby girls named Karen, a huge drop from the 33,000 baby girls named Karen in 1965,\u201d the station wrote. \u201cThe SSA only tracks the top 1,000 baby names for girls and the top 1,000 baby names for boys. The first time \u2018Karen\u2019 appears on the list was in 1906 when it was the 940th most popular name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With everyone now armed with a cell phone, videos of Karens going off have gone viral in social media. \u201cOne infamous incident on May 25 involved Amy Cooper who accused a Black man of threatening her in Central Park. She was caught on video calling the police on him as she fabricated the accusations. The story made national headlines and Cooper faced criminal charges for her actions,\u201d ABC-10 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc10.com\/article\/news\/nation-world\/karen-baby-name-plummets-popularity\/507-93b87091-7c8b-40f3-8f64-91d0db8f1825\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\" readability=\"24.708860759494\">\n<p>Cooper was\u00a0later described as \u201cthe Queen of Karens\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/07\/31\/style\/karen-name-meme-history.html\">The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\" readability=\"45.297709923664\">\n<p>In September 2020, San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton introduced the \u201cCAREN Act,\u201d the acronym for \u201cCaution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies Act.\u201d The act sought to amend police code making it against the law to give a false report based on a person\u2019s race, religion, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<p>The SSA has compiled data on names since 1879, but many people didn\u2019t register with the agency before 1937, so names before that year are not included in the data, which you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/oact\/babynames\/rankchange.html\">see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl covered the White House for a dozen years and ran the Drudge Report for four years.
