It is used in the Medicare Manual in a list of descriptions of different types of Medicare beneficiaries. There are two uses: "prouty wife" and "primary prouty wife". Forget asking Medicare, I deal with these people every day and you might as well ask a fire hydrant. The OED and every other dictionary I can access, both on line and hard copy, has no entry for "prouty". Boy, has this one got my curiosity up! What kind of wife is a "prouty" wife???? Anybody??? syringe syringe Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted prouty insulin 02/26/2001 7:28 PM Re: prouty Anonymous 02/26/2001 7:45 PM Re: prouty insulin 02/26/2001 9:37 PM Re: prouty results of research Faldage 02/26/2001 9:17 PM Re: prouty results of research insulin 02/26/2001 9:41 PM Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
