Translation of "snerpete" into English

Foreldre ønsker naturligvis ikke at barna deres skal få et snerpet eller negativt syn på kjønnslivet.

Of course, parents do not want their children to develop a prudish or negative view of sexual relations.

Jeg visste at du ikke var så snerpete som folk sier.

I knew you weren't as prim and starchy as they made out. No.
