prima donna (n.)
A prima donna (plural is prima donnas) is a principal female singer in an opera or concert group and by extension anyone—male or female—
who exhibits some of the less admirable traits said to be typical of such performers: vanity, sensitivity, temperament, and willfulness.
Pronounce it either PRIM-uh DAH-nuh or PREE-muh DAH-nuh. See FOREIGN PLURALS.
