A report from the staff of Denver Arts & Venues says three people complained at intermission and included this tidbit about what Boebert said as she left the building: “stuff like ‘do you know who I am,’ ‘I am on the board’ (and) ‘I will be contacting the mayor.’ ”
Boebert is not on the board of Denver’s Center for the Performing Arts.
Boebert is the queen of the Karens.
Literally nobody named Karen is that big of a shitbag.
It's too bad another, less common label didn't come into common usage. I've known a number of Karens (and a couple of Chads) that were just people.
Chad is a name I had never heard before rhe memes is it common in the US?
"Chad" is an old English name. In WWII, it was used by British soldiers in a form of the "Kilroy was here" meme. It was not common in the US prior to the 1940s, so we can hazard a guess that Americans picked it up from Brits during WWII.
It peaked in popularity for baby boys in the early 1970s. Around 20 years later, it became identified as a stereotypical name for an upper-class "frat boy" in Chicago. The more recent slang usage is a distant descendant of that usage.
The fact it was old English kinda blows my mind. I'm from Scotland and never once heard it. Interesting read thank you
It was a popular name for boys born in the 70s and 80s.
Not common.
The majority of all names are good people, but if there is one name that has a higher percentage of assholes than others it is probably Karen
Totally unscientific, but I work in 911 dispatch and I'd say that off the top of my head probably the most common name I get for Karen-type calls is probably Carol, the male equivalent in probably Alan
Solid boomer names. I’d say Karen’s are more gen-x names. Like I’d think it was a popular baby name in the 60s through 80s.
Lauren is a close second.
Given how naming entitled women Karen is an insult to women actually named Karen, I propose we replace "Karen" with Boebert.
For example: "She asked to see the manager because I wouldn't honor this expired $1 off coupon for our competitor. Then she said 'do you know who I am?!!!' She's such a Boebert."
