The American meaning of nice would refer to someone that's pleasant, thoughtful, kind and polite.

However, nice in England doesn't mean likeable. Niceness is a bad thing to have, not a good thing.

Niceness = "Luxury, indulgence; fine or luxurious living; choiceness of food; daintiness, effeminacy."

Niceness = "Fastidiousness; squeamishness; (excessive) sensitivity."

Any thoughts?

Anyone that sucks up to me.
