Rugeley Villa Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Just on about this Karen thing to my wife. She’s already on it and is planning to go with her sister and unsuspecting mum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t experienced one myself but keep asking myself “what’s the point?”. Supposedly, a diner that gives you good food but awful service. Prepare to be abused???? Sister-in-law went the other evening said it was funny but probably wouldn’t go again. Was made to wear a hat saying the words “this is my cum face”. Just sounds ridiculous but I am a boring moody git I suppose. I just wouldn’t pay for this nonsense. Seen a few mentions of this place in the news and I have to agree, what enjoyment is there in being abused when having a burger?! No different to Maccies on the ramp at night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she "a Karen"? Or was she actually called Karen? Or (double points)... both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Surely there'll be a few Karens as customers too so it has to kick off once in a while especially if the waiter goes a bit too far and makes a personal comment and hits a punter's weak spot or raw nerve ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted October 29, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 I feel sorry for all the perfectly reasonable women called Karen. Or indeed anyone whose name subsequently becomes a joke meme (my daughter Alice is only now just getting over "Who the **** is Alice?" being current when she was at school). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set 'em up, you tap 'em in. By the by, I think 'Karen' has completely different associations in the US and UK. As I understand it, the stereotypical American Karen is a middle aged, middle class, slightly snobby conservative woman. In Britain, Karens are assumed to be undereducated working class chav types. Similar differences apply to the male name Kevin. Relatively cool and sexy name in the US, but again, a bit 'chavvy' in the UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2022 When I was at School Kevin was the term you would generally use for Chav now. There was a massive Kevin Boom in my era. I've heard it said because of Kevin Keegan but he didn't really establish his reputation till a couple of years after my school year was born. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2022 The older I get the more I think I'd like to live in London. All those unfriendly people not speaking to you on cheap public transport seems like an absolute bonus these days 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
