Talk:nesh

Locality

I've broadened out the locality, as I'm from near Manchester and knew it as a boy, while I know people from Sheffield who also knew it. The article already included the North West Midlands, the East Midlands and parts of Derbyshire. --Grutter 10:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

It’s one of my dad’s favourite words and he’s from Staffordshire but other than within our family I never heard it used in Birmingham or Warwickshire and I worked with someone originally from Jarrow who was confused when I tried to use it in a conversation with her, I can also find no online evidence that it’s used in the North East either.

Verb: to brew?

My mother (from Derbyshire, UK) used to talk about letting a pot of tea "nesh" before serving it (i.e. brew? settle?) — or so my father once said. I haven't seen it any dictionary. Equinox ◑ 22:22, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
