Australian slang used to describe someone who is considered to be not fun, i.e. overcomplicates matters, doesn't drink an amount of alcohol deemed socially appropriate, disagrees with the sentiments of a group. Specifically the term is likely to be applied to a man who is viewed to be judging the morals of his accusers and/or setting himself apart as morally "better" than others.
