Fall Word 2: NIPPY
If someone tells you it’s nippy outside, they mean that it is chilly or rather cold. This is an informal word.
This fall word comes from the verb nip, which means “to give someone/something a quick, painful bite or pinch”. So, when the weather is nippy, the idea is that the cold is biting or pinching you a little bit.
It is nippy in the morning in Tahoe City.
