    I immediately think less of anyone who uses Karen as an adjective.

    It’s a pretty good litmus test for identifying people who are chronically reddit-brained.

      I immediately think less of anyone who doesn’t know the difference between a noun and an adjective.

        Calling someone ‘a’ Karen is using the word as an adjective.

        Calling someone ‘Karen’ is using it as a proper noun.

        I’m guessing you just looked at the upvoted comment that said it’s not an adjective and assumed it was correct.

        For shame.
