Drama Queen

#####Drama Queen

Welcome to English in a Minute!

Does this phrase have something to do with royalty?

DRAMA QUEEN

You have drama, you have queen.

Put them together, and what could it possibly mean?

We have been waiting for our food for more than 30 minutes.

Okay, I’m not trying to be a drama queen, but I don’t understand what could be taking so long.

Don’t overreact!

This restaurant is always busy at lunchtime.

They have a lot of other customers, you know!

A drama queen is a person who acts as though things are much worse than they really are.

Someone who is a drama queen often overreacts to a situation.

This is not exactly a nice thing to say about someone.

And that’s English in a Minute!
