Permit Patty

Definition

A derisive term for an uptight, often racist middle-aged white woman who weaponizes local ordinances and police calls against people of color engaged in harmless activities like lemonade stands. Named after an infamous viral incident, it's become shorthand for Karen-adjacent behavior with a bureaucratic twist.

Example Usage

I wanted to set up a yard sale, but of course Permit Patty from next door called the cops before I even hung up my signs.
