Someone who is visibly, theatrically bothered by another person's success — and somehow can't stop broadcasting it. A pressed queen elevates ordinary jealousy into a full performance: the subtweets, the pointed shade, the conspicuously casual mentions of a rival. The "queen" suffix here is sardonic, crowning them as the undisputed ruler of being mad about someone else's wins. It's less an insult than a diagnosis delivered with pity and a little admiration for the commitment to the bit. The throne they've built is made entirely out of their own feelings.

She's been posting vague-tweets about the new girl for three weeks — absolute pressed queen behavior.
