Short piece about a person who's overly emotional (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
drama queen
'a person who's overly emotional' is the definition.
'short piece' is the wordplay.
'short' becomes 'drama' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'piece' becomes 'queen' (queen is a kind of piece).
'drama'+'queen'='DRAMA QUEEN'
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama queen that I've seen before include "woman prone to histrionics" , "Titania for one" , "Person who overreacts - royal actress?" , "is too fond of her scenes?" , "One prone to histrionics" .)
