Neshannock

In parts of the American South, people still specify Irish potato when they mean a regular white potato — distinguishing it from the sweet potato, which is equally common on the table. The qualifier dates back to the 19th century, when mass Irish immigration made potatoes so associated with Irish culture that the plain old spud needed a surname. Regional but charming.

(US) A potato, distinguished from a sweet potato.

Adverb derived from the English Midlands and Northern dialect adjective 'nesh', meaning soft, tender, or overly sensitive to cold. A 'nesh' person is one who feels the cold easily or is perceived as physically weak; 'neshly' describes acting in that soft or feeble manner. The root may be Old English 'hnesce'.

(UK, dialect) In a nesh manner.

A long, slender variety of potato.
