Histrionics - a podcast by Word of the Day

Histrionics is a noun that refers to melodramatic or hysterical behavior.

The Latin word histrio (HISS tree oh) means ‘actor.’ While actors aren’t only ones guilty of using histrionics, they are very much an actor’s stock and trade.

Devin’s histrionics can get a little hard to take. I don’t like it when people can’t tell a simple story without engaging in melodramatic behavior.
