Mincing

(a.)

(of a way of walking or speaking) very delicate, and not natural

（言谈步态）故作斯文的；装模作样的；忸怩作态的

e.g. short mincing steps

忸怩作态的小碎步

e.g. I, your foolish elder brother, have all my life criticized people without mincing words, but whenever someone has one good point or special ability, or said one good word or done one good deed, I have never failed to praise it with all my heart.

愚兄平生漫骂无礼，然人有一才一技之长，一行一言之美，未尝不啧啧称道。
