mimoza

Definition from own experience or research:
pren. razg. osjetljiva ili preosjetljiva osoba [prava je mimoza]

Iako se i u našim medijima u novije vrijeme spominje "Generacija pahuljica" kao doslovan prijevod, rekla bih da je mimoza naš ustaljeni izraz.

Example sentence(s):

Zato nije čudno što su joj i ostala imena takva: nježna, netik, osjetnica i što je postala neke vrste „mjera“ za preosjetljivost („ne smiješ joj ništa reći; prava je mimoza“), pa se i preosjetljivi ljudi nazivaju mimozama. - Vijenac
