bluenose
Uptight morality enforcer
A bluenose is a puritanical or prudish person—someone who disapproves of drinking, gambling, or sexual matters: The bluenoses on the town council voted to close the strip club.
The term suggests excessive moral strictness and a tendency to impose one's standards on others.
Separately, Bluenose is a nickname for Nova Scotians or their province.
