What does tiquismiquis mean?

ExpressionColoquial

fussy, picky

Somebody who complains about details nobody else cares about: the food, the tidiness, the rules. The word is identical in the singular and the plural and does not change for a woman. It sounds comic simply from how it is pronounced, which makes it hard to say in genuine anger.

No seas tiquismiquis y cómetelo.
Said at a table, nine times out of ten.
