Prima Donna

A strongly temperamental person who presents him or herself as moody or irritable and expresses erratic / unpredictable behavior that is not accepted well by the general public.

A person who is vain and consider themselves too good to do certain tasks and live under conditions they consider inadequate.

In simple modern term a Prima Donna is known to be someone who displays themselves as a "Drama Queen" or "Diva". It is often used to describe someone arrogant, egoistic, cocky or just plain bitchy and not nice.

Word Origin: from Italian "First Lady" recorded in the year 1782
(Boy how times have changed .. nothing comparable to what a Prima Donna is actually considered today then centuries ago)
When Alex does not get his way, he displays himself as a prima donna.

Alex, a boss, who is too much of a prima donna to compliment his employees after a job well done. Instead he prefers to solely focus on their weaknesses and consistently criticize with nothing but negative feedback.

Alex becomes a prima donna when he has to spend money on others but when it comes to himself, there's absolutely no limit.

Parisa

Name commonly given to the prettiest, sweetest and smartest of Persian females. Parisa literally means "little angel" but in our 21st century lingo, the name translates better to "more flawless than any angel". Seriously, angels get jealous of the beauty Parisas radiate. Parisa's tend to be perfect and emit unquantifiable amounts of badassery. Their brains are really super-sized, they are fashionably socialized and tend to be naturally deodorized. Everybody wants to be a Parisa's BFF.
"Did you, like, hear all the smack that angel was talking about Parisa? I know, like, obviously soooooo jealous."

"Did you see that chick's crazymad skillz? She was totally pulling a Parisa."
