Hi,

It is noteworthy that "PRIM" as an adjective does not have a

positive meaning based on the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary.

See:

Prim adjective primmer, primmest DISAPPROVING

very formal and correct in behaviour and easily shocked by anything rude:

 

Who can explain why ?

---

It can be translated as خشک ، عصا قورت داده ، شق و رق and the like.

But I wonder what you mean by "why".

---

It's better to say that prim (at least in one meaning) is being too formal.

Of course, guys, I don't think the compound of "prim and proper" is a negative disapproving adjective. It seems that its excessive form is called in other words such as:

Pissy, priggish, etc
