“Karen” vs. “Becky” vs. “Stacy”: How Different Are These Slang Terms?

When it comes to certain white women these days, it doesn’t matter what lovely moniker their parents may have given them. They’ve also been deigned with the name Karen, Becky, or Stacy.

Why? These common names are now shorthand for a certain kind of woman who either behaves badly or others like to complain about. As viral videos of Beckys blow up and the service industry cringes whenever a Karen asks to speak to the manager, these names have taken on a new meaning.

But are all three names now insults? What exactly do they mean when used this way? And are they interchangeable? When it comes to these names, it’s complicated.

If you’ve ever wondered which is worse—dealing with a Karen, Stacy, or Becky—go ahead and take a closer look.

What does Karen mean?
Karen is a generic name that’s common among middle-aged women. It was one of the top five most popular baby names for girls from 1957–1966, and peaked at #3 in 1965, according to Social Security data.

Karen is also the Danish form of Katherine, which is popularly associated with a Greek word for pure. However, the meaning of Karen has evolved over recent years. Record of the insult Karen appears as early as September 2016, and by 2020, Karen had gained a slang meaning that refers to a middle-aged white woman.

However, it doesn’t refer to just any middle-aged white woman. The popularization of Karen as an insult has been credited to Black Twitter in the 2010s, and it typically refers to a woman who fits the stereotype of an aggressive, racist, minivan-driving, white mom. Your typical Karen has a “speak to the manager” haircut that’s a variation of a blunt blonde bob. Karens are the types to complain to the manager about anything and everything, and have become the subject of memes as well as viral videos.

In 2020, Karens became further associated with bad behavior, as videos surfaced of women acting out over refusing to wear masks or social distance to protect against COVID-19 and also engaging in extremely racist behaviors. When these instances are captured on video, they tend to go viral, with the Karen in question being publicly shamed. For example, “Central Park Karen” was a white woman who called the police on a Black man birdwatching in the park. There was also a “Costco Karen” who was filmed throwing a tantrum over being asked to wear a face mask. And then there was “Zombie Karen” who ran into a glass door and licked it while screaming racist slurs after being refused entry to a bar.

In short, being called a Karen or told that you have a Karen haircut is not a compliment.

What does Becky mean?
Like Karen, Becky follows the trend of a first name being used to generalize a certain type of person. Again, we’re talking white women here. However, Beckys aren’t middle-aged, ignorant, and aggressive white moms. Instead they are typically younger white women who are unaware or take advantage of their privilege. Beckys are the new Valley Girls.

Becky is a pet form of the Biblical name Rebecca. However, the name became widely used as a slang insult in the late 2010s. Beyoncé helped solidify this in 2016 with her song “Sorry,” which references a Becky with the good hair whom many have interpreted to be a white woman.

In addition to referring to a woman unaware of her white privilege and acting racist, Becky is also used to mock basic young women who love their pumpkin spice, UGG boots, and social media photos. The key to this stereotype is that Beckys are basic: completely unoriginal and mainstream.

In addition to loving apple-picking in the fall and selfies, a Becky is stereotyped as a so-called basic bitch who is a privileged, sheltered, generic, and unlikeable white woman.

What does Stacy mean?
Stacy is also a pejorative slang term for a woman. The origin of Stacy is obscure, and may come from Anastasia or Eustace. However, Stacy reached peak popularity in the United States in the 1970s–80s and can be spelled Stacey and Stacie. By 2011 it had taken on an entirely different connotation. Stacy now is used as a stereotype for an attractive woman who is vain, rude, and only interested in sex. Stacies are sexually active and looked down upon for it.

This version of Stacy originated from incel culture, which is an internet subculture of men who are celibate and blame women for their lack of sex lives. They use the term to describe typically white, blonde, women with porn-star bodies and a sensuality they hate because they can’t have them. Stacy is similar to the term whore: it’s dehumanizing, sexist, and scapegoats a woman who is deemed promiscuous by men.

Worst First Dates in History 3-Hour Compilation30 Of The Worst Dates Ever, As Per Servers Who Witnessed ThemWhen you go on a date at a fancy restaurant, cozy cafe, or, heck, even your local fast food joint, you can easily forget that there’s always someone around in the background—your server. Now, odds are that most people working in the food service industry don’t eavesdrop on purpose. However, when a date goes frightfully wrong, they can’t help but notice what’s going on at one of their tables.We’re featuring some of the stories about the most awkward and weird date fails, as witnessed by servers and shared on these two r/AskReddit threads here and here. Scroll down for some of the most cringe, dramatic, and weird romantic encounters that waiters couldn’t look away from even if they wanted to.However, one note of friendly advice for you, Pandas: the stories here might give you some a case of some serious secondhand embarrassment.Bored Panda was interested to learn more about dating, whether restaurant dates are a good idea, and what to do if you see that you’re not clicking with someone, so we reached out to certified relationship and self-love coach Alex Scot. Scroll down for our full interview with her, Pandas.Relationship coach Alex opened up to Bored Panda that she personally isn’t a fan of “the stereotypical coffee or restaurant date” because many people feel a lot of pressure “to keep the conversation going with fewer things around to remark about.” In short, going to a cafe or restaurant might not be ideal for a first date.“If you’re the extroverted type, these kinds of dates are easier for you to show up and be you, but for introverts or anyone who has social anxiety, this can be a triggering environment. I personally feel it's a smarter move to go on some kind of activity date,” she said.True Cheating Stories 2022 Best of Reddit NSFW Cheating Stories 2022Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-wives-and-girlfriends-stories-2025-true-cheating-stories-podcast--5689182/support.
