How about now?..
Guys named Gaylord
there used to be small a neon sign in Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco that said “Gaylord”. like five stories up. I don’t know why. but now it’s gone and i miss it.
It’s gone because Gaylord India Restaurant closed.
Is that what it was? TIL. Now I need samosas. Fuck now I need to learn how to make samosas.
You know they’re not going to compare to those fucking Gaylord samosas though. You need to figure out what separates a samosa from a Gaylord samosa.
Is that you Mr Fawker?
I knew a Karen that started going by her middle name when “Karen” became a thing. She just didn’t want to deal with it.
Karens who have a sense of humor about it aren’t likely to be mistaken for one of those Karens.
I don’t think anyone wants to be known as “one of the good ones” lol
No, but the important distinction here is that being a “Karen” has absolutely nothing to do with what a person’s actual name is.
This reminds me of when I worked in a cold call center (I’m sorry, I had to eat) and I got to the C’s…
I got halfway through the Cockburns (apparently it’s “c-oh burn”) before someone corrected my pronunciation. I can’t imagine what highschool must have been like for that family
it is? oh
In the UK there’s a relatively famous brand of port (or is it sherry?) called Cockburns. Possibly would, if you uses it wrong
Could also be a warning about the perils of making decisions under the influence
Olivia Wilde’s real name is Olivia Jane Cockburn
“I’m tired of the constant sexual jokes due to my last name. I need a fresh start.”
The Karen thing is weird to me because it’s a pretty typical name and I know multiple karens. But it must be generational since it appears to have had a dramatic drop off in the 80s.
Yeah it’s kind of an ageist thing. Gen x was like the last time that name was common.
I only know one millennial Karen and she’s cool as all hell.
The generational divide is the point though. The archetypal Karen is a gen x woman being really entitled to a gen z service worker
If it makes you feel any better, some of us like Dick
How about Dick Swett?
Not gonna lie, back in happier times, if Dick Swett ran I’d vote for him just cause it’s funny.
Robert Johnson
Larry Richard Johnson
John that’s tall: hell yeah.
Kevin doesn’t understand this meme
You can pretend a meme makes you right, or you could switch from dick to cock and from Karen to any other word that isn’t 2 million people’s first name.
Lots of people suffer far more discrimination for having non standard names. There have been studies showing a name can lose you a job opportunity, and I’ve been discriminated for my name since middle school. My name is Chatoyer, a French name pronounced with a sh sound.
So I’ve heard shit used instead, I’ve heard people confused by the shorted version sounding like shat, and at one job where they tried to send me to a customer onsite, when he heard my name he yelled "The hell kinda name is that?!"and hung up, losing the company business (good riddance though).
Get over it. Karen’s have it easy.
No
