What do you call a "prim" in french?

I'm trying to create a flag that's a SL relevant knock off of Magritte's betrayal of Images, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to say "This is not a prim" in french....

Any native french speakers here who can help me?

I looked on www.freetranslation.com, and it says "prim" is "guindé" in French. But I transated it back, and it said it ment "formal."

no it's prim

primitive is the same word in french and english

"ceci n'est pas une primitive" for your sentence (i am french so i prolly know it)

Since "prim" is the short term for Primitive, I would suggest figuring out what is French for Primitive and then seeing if there is a shot/slang for that word.
