I’ve often wondered if Sir John Harrington and Thomas Crapper regreted their innovations in plumbing.

“How about Carl? Linked to many military comic meme’s.”

Carl? How about Jody? That’s even in Israel.

Yep also linked with common generic names like John Smith and John Doe.

Every, ‘Linda’ I’ve ever known has been her own certain brand of ‘special,’ too.

Can anyone explain that?

“Chad” is a pretty widely established meme of some years among young people. I’ve never heard this “Karen” nonsense until the Chicom flu hit.

Not to start a Jewish conspiracy, but I suspect the Karen meme was started by Jewish women named “Yenta”.

I know three women named Karen, and none of them fit the stereotype.

I love how the mass media pretends to hate bullying but this name calling is totally ok. Immediately sussing someone up as a member of some less-than group.

I know one, and that’s too many.

I agree. If you can’t single out young Asian girls or chubby black men, and insult them according to their group, then you can’t single out middle aged white women. If they behave like a b*tch, call them a b*tch. Stick to behavior, not ethnic/age groups.

Gentlemen, hint of advice - wife mentioned some busybody neighbor and I said to her - “Sounds like a Karen.”

Wife asked me what I meant by that - I couldn’t explain so I said: “Google it.”

I think I’ll have the feeling back in my arm by Friday.
