"To throw, especially a Wellington boot; wellywang." But it's (deprecated template usage) welly whanging, isn't it, so (deprecated template usage) whang? Equinox 09:34, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cited. I'd have guessed it was a northern English expression, but one of the cites is from an author from New Hampshire talking about fishermen in Arkansas, so it seems my guess would have been wrong. Thryduulf (talk) 12:37, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFV passed, but the cites didn't support the Wellington thing, so I dropped it. —RuakhTALK 02:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFV discussion: April–June 2023[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


RFV for Etymology 1:

  • Noun: The cheek or jaw. OED gives only Middle English evidence. It is listed in EDD but marked "obsolete" and no textual evidence is provided.
  • Verb: To continue to talk about a specific subject. This was added last year by LadyGreyCornFlower, reverted by Chuck, then re-added.
