Some words sound very naughty but aren't. Like PRIG. D'ya know what it means?

"A person who displays or demands of others pointlessly precise conformity fussiness about trivialities or exaggerated propriety especially in a self-righteous or irritating manner".

Now being called one is no compliment of course but it isn't so bad considering the other words out there. Can a pig be a prig? Is prig gender neutral? I've only ever seen/heard it applied to males but are females possibly prigs too?

    Yes.  I do.  It does not sound naughty.  That word 'naughty' is so nauseating.  

    I am not five year's old.
