Crossword Genius

Very slow or very nippy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glacial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'very slow' is the first definition.
(as in a glacial place)

'very nippy' is the second definition.
'glacial' can be an answer for 'nippy' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'very' bit.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glacial that I've seen before include "Ice cold" , "Icy; distant" , "Extremely cold" , "Relating to ice" , "Freezing - unfriendly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
