    Someone used to say the women lived up to their name;

    anyone ever seen an ugly or PhD named Candy or Holly?

    This Torrance racist is Bitchy Blanche or Racist Rhoda or just Martha from Mars.

    Karen started as a woman who was going to tell on you. Tell the manager, call the cops.

    Karen has turned into a catch-all for evil, bitchy woman.

    They're all fucking Jens as far as I'm concerned. At least the younger ones are. Jens or Kates. The old ones are Pattis. The old fat ones are Pegs. Even the old fat ones who aren't racist are Pegs.

    I know it's your opinion about the names, but let's not make "Jen" one of them here, please. Sensitive, hits close to home. I'd appreciate it (speaking for myself, not as a moderator).

    I saw “They’re all fucking Jens” and for a second I misread it. Whew.

    My wife said that 9 of the 14 girls on her freshman dorm floor were named Jennifer (including her). There were Jens, Jenns, Jennas and even a Neff. The name has completely plummeted in popularity.

    A friend was one of six Jennifers in her kindergarten class.
