such a drama queen, or woof, you're being a drama
queen today. The term originated on English slang in the
late part of the twentieth century, especially in the nineteen

emotions or situations, often resembling theatrical performances. Queen has been
long used as a person who is flamboyant, attention seeking,
or overly expressive. Now put them together and it describes
any person any gender who tends to overreact and seems
to be thrilled about having to thrive on conflict. The
term drama queen doesn't come from royalty. Trust me. There

an overabundance of drama queens. We've developed into a generation
of people wanting to be placed at the center of

in a humorous way. It's not always about judging one's
actions and reactions. It can be serious weight in a
receiver's heart. After all, to a drama queen, life is
truer than true A daily soap opera drama queen something
