Stubborn, prissy and daft

In the book I am currently reading the three adjectives from the title appeared.

So they are quite important to understand English books.

daft = silly, often in a way that is amusing

Example:

Katy daftly killed all her plants by drowning them. Well, she wanted to make sure they all have enough water!

stubborn = determined not to change your opinion or attitude = obstinate

Example:

Brian is so stubborn that he doesn't even listen to the suggestions of his colleagues.

That annoying, stubborn pain in my knee is not easy to get rid of. (here stubborn = persistent)

prissy = too careful to always behave correctly and appearing easily shocked by rude behaviour, etc

Example:

My father wanted to pretend that my friend's mother was his wife to get the reduced entrance price for a family to the swimming pool.

Quite prissily in my opinion, my friend's mother refused, because she insists on honesty and super correct behaviour.
