fuddy-duddy
"A fuddy-duddy, sometimes without the hyphen, is a person who is fussy while old-fashioned, traditionalist, conformist, or conservative, sometimes almost to the point of eccentricity or geekiness. It is a slang term, mildly derogatory but sometimes affectionate too, that dates to ca. 1907 and can be used to describe someone with a zealous focus on order.
The terms fusspot, fusser, stick-in-the-mud, spoilsport, wet blanket, old fogy/fogey, stuffed shirt and fuddy-dud are abbreviated forms of the term"

a tu jeszcze kilka innych mozliwych synonimow
