Mellow-dramatic

I just saw this on Yelp, complaining about our local Big Boy chain. Maybe he sees it as less dramatic than just “dramatic” would be. I was surprised that we hadn’t seen this before. I do see that it is an entry in Urban Dictionary, though.

“It will obviously seem like I am being mellow-dramatic and over exaggerating, so I snapped a picture before we buried these disgraces 30 feet deep (kidding about that part, but I do have the picture).”
