       Prig is defined as "...a person who is excessively precise,
proper and smug in his moral behavior and attitudes, to the 
annoyance of others."  I think he describes Jym's attitude accurately,
and is not just childishly calling names. The original poster
was making a little joke; Jym is trying to make a big statement
out of it, and not quite succeeding.
