"Frum"
The other day I was talking to a friend about my upbringing and how it has left me with some (now odd/old fashioned) views about men and women. For example I still hide my sts in the back of my knicker drawer and I was horrified the other day when DH put some blood stained towels in the washing machine. She found it really funny but in an 'adorable' (her word) way. She said I was "frum" which in Yiddish technically means pious but is more about people like me who behave in slightly embarrassed ways about things that are perfectly normal.
Do you know any other words that have no single word equivalent?
