Ragtime gal.

Caren's parents own a dry cleaning business, which makes Caren an expert on all things dry cleaning.

Caren uses one particularly odd form of shop talk when referring to her lavender fleece jacket. She calls it a "rag," which I am told is dry cleaning lingo for a jacket.

The term takes on a more literal translation when used by Caren to describe this particular jacket.

Caren wears her rag every day. Even in the summer. Caren wears her rag when it is 100 degrees out.

Caren also has a penchant for eating cheese doodles – the residual crumbs of which she constantly wipes on the shoulder of her rag.

Caren's rag is disgusting.
