A new one for me today: hypocrite; goody-two-shoes; false prude; disingenuous.
Arrêtes de jouer la sainte nitouche! Stop being miss fussy boots!

Not one I use very often, but it has a nice feel about it.

Translate as Saint Untouched, the Saintly Virgin, know as Deborah Godown, a friendly girl or uncertain sex!

That throws up something that's been bugging me for a while: Jouer les whatever. Why plural?? It's referring to one person, so surely it should be 'jouer le or la' whatever. In fact, in the link above, it gives examples of both, but in all the books and articles I've read, it's plural. Grrrrrr....feel a letter to the Académie coming on  |
