1. 1

    A fusspot is a person who worries and complains about small, things: the cup not matching the , the towel folded the ‘wrong’ way, a tiny mark nobody else can see. It is informal, a little teasing, and a little if you say it to someone’s face — more often you say it about someone. It names the person, not one single act. A parent, a teacher, or a colleague can be a fusspot; the word is not as sharp as control freak, and not as medical as obsessive. British speakers use it freely; will also meet person, which is the same idea in plainer clothes.

    龜毛的人、愛挑剔小事的人(口語、帶點調侃)
