It was bound to happen eventually, and a few days ago it finally did:
An admirer on Twitter called me “Karen.”
OK, minus the “admirer” part.
If you know anything about the pejorative term “Karen,” you know it’s used — more and more all the time, mainly on social media — to describe someone who is, among other things, white, middle-aged and annoying as all get-out.
And if you know anything about me, you know I’m guiltier than a dog with barbecue sauce on its nose on all three of those counts.
So, there you go: an example of some very light online shaming.
