A rarely used word I really like is Shivviness. A Yorkshire word describing the discomfort of wearing new underwear.
It must come from the word shive,which is a splinter or a piece of woody tissue still adhering to the flax(from which linen is made.)

Anyone use the word nesh? I've used it many times and on many occasions been asked what I meant. It is an English saying for feeling the cold.
