henny penny

A woman who is a caricature of conservative femininity, seeing the world entirely in pink and blue, desperate to never be remotely near anything unfeminine, particularly things that might make her appear as anything but completely fragile. Such a woman tends to behave and present herself in mannerisms, dress, grooming, and hobbies almost as an elderly woman long before she reaches old age.
She’s such a henny penny, that being with her is like having to be with my grandmother.
