Priggish

Postby Grogie » Tue Sep 05, 2006 4:49 am

I remembered this word yesterday after not having thought of it in quite a few years. It means ''exaggeratedly proper''. I rarely hear it. It seems like it deserves more use.

Well maybe. but these days too many people are sniggish (my own word, I think); i.e. exaggeratedly improper.
