| Boilerpipe Text | Tropical Storm Karen
, which is moving through the Southern Windward islands and could hit Puerto Rico early next week, has inspired the internet to make memes poking fun of the stormâs name. #Karen was trending on Sunday afternoon on Twitter.
âKarenâ has become synonymous with the persona of an annoying entitled, woman, according to the internetâs meme database,
KnowYourMeme
, which says the meme may have first come about because of its association with
Mean Girlsâ
ditzy, popular high school character Karen Smith.
The Karen meme is also associated with a side-swept haircut that is
âshort in the back and longer in the front
â and âmocked as representative of middle-aged womenâ obsessed with complaining to store managers, KnowYourMeme says.
Haircut and manager memes are making the rounds on Twitter as Tropical Storm Karen dumps rain on the southern Windward Islands. One meme shows this haircut sitting atop of the stormâs forecast cone. Another refers to the cone as a âvisual representation of the rising anger of everyone in line behind Karen as she argues with the manager because her coupons are not working.â
Itâs still important to know that this is a potentially life-threatening storm. A tropical storm warning, indicating that tropical storm conditions are expected within the next 12 hours, is already in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada and its dependencies, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A tropical storm watch, indicating that tropical storm conditions are expected generally within 48 hours, is in effect for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. |
