Not quite prim, and a bit fussy? (6)
I believe the answer is:
prissy
'fussy?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'not quite prim and a bit' is the wordplay.
'not quite' means to remove the last letter.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a bit' becomes 'ssy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'prim' with its final letter removed is 'pri'.
'pri'+'ssy'='PRISSY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prissy that I've seen before include "Prudishly fussy" , "Disliking what is rough or improper" , "Strait-laced" , "Overly prim and proper" , "Fussy and prudish" .)
