    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).

      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

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