[Baypiggies] Message sent to Suresh (baypiggies meetup)

[William Deegan]

I beleive he meant to use the work "Prig" which is more commonly used by
the english than americans.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prig
one who offends or irritates by observance of proprieties (as of speech or
manners) in a pointed manner or to an obnoxious degree

I'm 90% sure it's meant to be offensive..
