A WOB that - frankly - I'm shocked I haven't seen before...

From comments on an Athletic article regarding the Blackhawks rebuilding plans:

While it’s not fun to watch, there has to be genuinely a more positive way of spinning this then the damn mellow dramatics.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Not only a great WOB but a great play on words, if used intentionally.

But is it a WOB under the most stringent interpretation? You could be mellowly dramatic, rather than engaging in histrionics, so would it be appropriately nonsensical? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapropism With that being said, I am not a stickler and think that is a WOB, and a funny one at that.

I think it does fit the criteria as while it sort of/kind of makes sense as a standalone, the person who wrote it is clearly meaning to use the term "melodramatic"

Is he trying to say the Blackhawks have a bunch of pre-Madonnas?

Sounds like a good name for an acting troupe.

But they never speak louder than in a library voice and none of their plays have action scenes.

Hence, they are "mellow dramatics."

Mellow dramatics.

I liked the "picky back" WoB I sent you the other day too. This one though is pretty brilliant.

It always makes me happy when a WOB is properly identified and shared. As a long time *mostly* lurker who was a witness to they first want of bee, I concur that this is a solid WOB.
