Prissiness is the quality of being prissy: a stiff, over-careful way of behaving, as if dirt, jokes, or anything a bit free would spoil you. We use the word with a . A little care about manners is fine; prissiness is when that care becomes a show, and when the person seems more interested in looking correct than in being kind. It is a noun, so you talk about someone’s prissiness, or the prissiness of a rule. Not a school-textbook word; more a word for describing people, often with a smile that is not quite kind.
