Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me in which context can we find the expression 'prim and proper'?
Would you have an example for me, please ?
Regards,

"Prim and proper" is an expression that means well-mannered, correct, and proper all at once. An example: A choir of young girls all dressed alike, singing nice songs, all of them on their best behavior, no one acting up (misbehaving), all of them very nice. You would say they were prim and proper.
