Karens


One of the trainers at our place was called 'Karen'. She pronounced it to rhyme with 'caring' (if said in a Sunderland accent).

Side tangent alert - but what is this lately? I've met two people who insist their name is not pronounced how its spelt. One was Laura who insisted it was "Lara" and another was Marie who insisted it was "Marr-ee".
 
Love a good Karen (sidenote the way she is dragging her poor dog around and strangling him makes me wanna kick her in the face)


But BBQ Becky's are better!

Hey SMB, what do you think of hipsters?

Hilarious aren’t they, with their lumberjack shirts and bushy beards lol.

And wtf is up with that beer they drink?! I just want a normal pint, not something industrial strength that costs a tenner a pint and is called Bishops Nipples!!

Anyway you’ve been great. Feel free to say hi after the show.
 
The nipper called me a Karen a wee while back as my burger was cold in Fat Hippo and I was going to ask them to replace it. It was minging eating the whole thing cold.
I've only ever heard it pronounced as Kavven in sunlun iirc there che
What's the origin of the che thing and why does it sound like a sharp 'chair'?

"I want to speak to the manager."

You just know it's going to be entertaining when you hear that. If the customer service person refuses, it then becomes anecdote at work material, as the meltdown becomes quicker and much more intense.
 
Google is your friend.
I googled, I found fuck all.


Yeah, none of that backs you up man:

Read an article this morning that stated obese female can have 9 times the testosterone of men.

My mates mam is named Karen and its pronounced Care-en. She’s in her 60s, afaik she's not trying to be unique or owt that's her name.

Yes it is an entitlement problem, we all have them to some degree...the problem is when that is magnified by a physical condition.
Too much for an owld feckwr like me to comprehend. Life was so much more simple when it was just pit work, the clerb, beer, and football. Stop the world I want off now.
 
Was talking about these Karen meltdowns earlier.

I think the increase (or my perceived increase) is partially due to lockdowns etc. After restrictions ended it was a couple of months before I didn't feel narky as fuck being around people when I was out and about, I just wasn't comfortable. Add mental illness, chronic pain, or just being an entitled twat and I don't find it surprising.

Or it could just be that every fucker has a HD camera combined with this being is a recent trend in the algorithm.

Going to call the idea women with a bit of clem having 9 times the testosterone of men absolute horseshit without evidence @Gelan
You'd be right. The study @Gelan linked through the article shows that the highest recorded free T level was 31.2 pmol/l. It could be 6 times higher and still would be under 225 pmol/l (the level where testosterone therapy would be considered for males).
 
Stereotype hissy fitters. Commonly known as Karen.

My sister in law is a Karen and she's the most stereotypical Karen ever

Always making a fuss about something on Facebook. Can't go out for a meal or away on holiday without making a complaint and demanding a refund. Thinks her kids are angels despite the rest of the world seeing them as devil spawn.

Amen to that marra.

I badly need HRT...maybe there's a transfer system.
