In response to your recent article “You are a Prigonian: Informal Poll Coins a New Name for Residents of Prince George”, I’d just like to point out that the word “prig” is defined by the Oxford Canadian Dictionary as “a self-righteously correct or moralistic person.” This term is almost always used in a pejorative or derogatory sense, not as a term of praise or endearment. If the residents of Prince George are willing to be known throughout the world as “prigs”, we might as well go all the way and call ourselves Pe-Georians.
