Is this a bit or do you really not know what drag is?

A drag queen is (usually) a man who dresses in an exaggerated female style for performances, and often have an over the top or pun stage name (ex: Divine, Kim Chi).

Registered 1 week ago and this is their only comment. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt but...

But now a whole lot of people are better informed. Save the hand wringing for if they come back in bad faith. Or as my mom used to say, don't borrow trouble.

Yeah, I regret the comment now and I have apologised to OP.

If they're ESL I totally get it. Neither of the two component words in their most common use would lead you to the correct meaning.

I learned English (3rd language) and the phrase "dressed in drag" made no sense to me

They really love catching the wind and upping their coefficient. It calls to the soul

No I had no clue. Only know the word as a verb or in the context of drag coeficient. Thank you for the explanation.

Sorry for doubting you

now imagining drag queens standing in wind tunnels to study the aerodynamics of their attire, with scientists standing on the side rubbing their chins wisely
