acting overly dramatic · attention-seeking · excessive
Ever seen someone make a huge deal out of something tiny? 🤏 Like reacting to a spilled drink as if the world just ended? That's being extra! It's used when someone is being overly dramatic, exaggerating, or just doing too much for the situation. It’s usually said lightheartedly, but can also be used when someone is genuinely annoying you with their antics! 😂
💡 **Remember:** 'Extra' as slang is an adjective! You'd say 'He's being so extra' or 'Don't be extra!' It means 'more than what is necessary or appropriate.' It's often used with 'so' or 'too' to emphasize the excessiveness. It's mostly used among friends and in casual settings, so probably not in a job interview! 🙅♀️
