Geordie dialect for something that fashes — that is, something that bothers, troubles, or irritates you. To fash is to worry or vex (used widely in Scottish and northern English dialects), and fashous describes anything that provokes that feeling: a fashous task, a fashous neighbour, a fashous commute. It captures the particular flavour of low-grade but persistent annoyance.
He found the paperwork fashous but ploughed through it anyway rather than leave it for Monday.
