What does PRIMP mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To groom or dress oneself with fussy, careful attention to every detail of one's appearance.
Someone who primps spends extra time in front of a mirror, adjusting hair, smoothing clothes or checking make-up before going out. The word carries a light, often mildly mocking tone, as if the person cares a little too much about looking perfect. It is close in meaning to preen, though preen more often describes a bird, and to prink, an older word for the same fussy self-grooming.
