chilly willy
Explanation:
Żartobliwo-potoczne, chyba nie za często używane, to czy można użyć zależy jaki jest "register"... Poza tym to jakiś pingwin z kreskówki.

"Or, if you’re a chilly willy, like me, you could always break out the wetsuit. Even though the temps in the islands are oh so balmy, some of us get too cold too soon in water cooler than, say, your average hot tub."

"Or, if you're a chilly willy, slide into one of 2 Jacuzzi jetted tubs in the master bathrooms."

"As for me, I'm a "chilly willy" and a wimp when it comes to cold weather."

Lub cold-hater

  • Converted Cold Hater, Aug 17 2009 I read COLD on a flight to the Yukon in July, leaving behind 29 degrees Celsius to spend the weekend shivering at the edge of the Beaufort Sea in temperatures hovering near 5 degrees.
