Neshness is a delightfully specific British dialect word, especially common in the East Midlands and North of England, describing the quality of being overly sensitive to cold — that wimpy, shivery tendency to complain about mild chill while everyone else is perfectly comfortable. If you're the person layering up in September while others are in T-shirts, you're exhibiting peak neshness. It's a gentle insult with real affection behind it.
His neshness is legendary — he puts a jumper on the moment a cloud covers the sun.
