Back in the days when it was common to ask the landlord in pubs for a mixture of beers, one popular mixture was "Mother-in-law" - old and bitter.
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"
"Yes, very."

I hate the Karen business which has drifted over here from the States where it is rife. It's so unfair, imagine if your name was Karen? I haven't heard it much and am glad of that.
