Example Usage

Despicable people are just being dramatic — ignore her.

Cultural Context

贱人 means 'low and contemptible person' — it's a sharp, gendered insult often aimed at women in conflicts. It gained massive internet fame through the drama 甄嬛传 (Empresses in the Palace) where the villain delivers '贱人就是矫情' (despicable people are just being dramatic). Now used online both as a genuine insult and as an ironic 甄嬛传 quote.
