A “drama queen” is a melodramatic person who habitually makes a fuss over minor problems, especially one who does it as a bid for attention. It applies to both genders, but “drama king” is a specifically masculine version. It originated as slang in the gay community during the 1960s, but became mainstream by the 1970s, and was popularised during the 1990s.
