be a princess
To be or be regarded as uppity, entitled, prissy, etc. Said of women. Of course Jo won't get in here and help us clean up—she's a real princess. She's probably out there filing her nails! I'm sure manual labor isn't in your vocabulary, but we sure could use a hand, if you're done being a princess. She always has to have every detail exactly how she wants it. She can be such a princess sometimes!
