Apologies to all the birth-cert Karens out there!

The name 'Karen' has gotten a bad rap in recent years and the latest criticism is coming from children in the US.

Some people often refer to people who complain in retail or customer service settings as a Karen.

They're also often seen (by some) as a know-it-all, which is obviously unfortunate for anyone who's actual name is Karen.

As part of a segment on the talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the team decided to get some truly valuable opinions.

They were also asked if they've ever come across a Karen, and what they likely eat.
