A British dialectal adjective meaning headstrong, flighty, or easily annoyed — someone who is headish has a tendency to go their own way, get irritable quickly, or act impulsively without thinking things through. It's an old-fashioned regional word that doesn't get much airtime today, but it captures a particular kind of temperament — stubborn, easily provoked, and difficult to pin down.
