    It would be interpreted by some as being homophobic. Including me. Therefore I am entitled to say that it’s an offensive term

    drama queen
    noun (informal) a person who habitually responds to situations in a melodramatic way.

    If you interpret it as being homophobic, that's your problem.

    But the etymology of the word has nothing to do with being gay.

    According to Urban Dictionary a snowflake is: “A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.”

    someone who gets too upset or angry over small problems:
    From the Cambridge dictionary
    I would feel emtirely justified in using the term "drama queen"
    Why on earth would anyone associate it as homophobic???????.

    Suggest you frequent places where other people are not, in case you are offended by something they say.

    They will all likely be happier too.

    While it does seem like a bit of a clearout, so far except for Macca we've kept all our really great players, and I've got waaaay more faith in our current setup to recruit great talent than I've ever had under previous owners.

    It's almost exciting... but a bit nerve wracking too. It really felt like we had a promotion squad under assembly before we lost Macca and it's a bit dubious now IMO.

    Hopefully they'll bring a few more new great people in, but this is a LOT of turnover and yes we are absolutely going to see this with team cohesion levels when the season begins.

    More than happy to have Jatta up top ably supported by McGoldrick and Scott. Don't forget, McGoldrick was in track for 20 goals before we ran him into the ground

    Can I say cheesy puff? if I'm comparing someone to flaky pastry?
