The term has been in our UK vocabulary for a while Bob, my daughter and I frequently come across and refer to such people who generally (word used advisedly) come from a certain age group, 40 - 60, are of a certain appearance, think Laura Ashley, have trouble parking the Chelsea tractor and have a sense of entitlement way beyond their self perceived social standing.
Thanks David. Oh dear, seems like a case of "Divide by a common language". Initial thought was "A Princess" but that doesn't fit either definition. Aha!a link on dtkerr's reply should solve it...Sorry this is not a very aviation thread!
I've never heard the expression "A Karen". I'm English, please enlighten me. Thanks
A "Karen" is associated with the kind of person who demands to "speak to the manager" in order to belittle service industry workers, is anti-vaccination, and carries out racist micro-aggressions.
In recent months, the meme has evolved into something new, "Coronavirus Karen". This particular form of Karen refuses to wear a face covering in shops, won't stick to quarantine, and thinks the whole pandemic thing is overblown.

Thanks dt, that'll make its way into our vocabulary soon!
They should be banned from flights for a long time if this was possible. More and more anti social behaviour and less respect for other people nowadays. Time to change.....
