• Re: Etymological question -- "waller" a hole

    From Osumcat404@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 21 04:17:56 2024
    The dictionary online as well as a Wikipedia tells me it's a US slang pejorative. Meaning precisely what is said about although I've never heard it used in reference to pigs or anything other than like a mechanical use but not on purpose usually as a way
    of saying this needs to be replaced because for whatever reason it won't hold or whatever the intended use it's now wallored out so therefore we need to replace.

    It doesn't always mean intentional I've never heard it using this way My mother is a mechanic and a machinist and she talks about it when there is a washer that doesn't work anymore because it's been used too much or when a sink won't quit dripping
    because the washer's walleted out or even a boat the threads can be rollered out to the point that it's no longer of good use I've never heard of it use intentionally I've heard of it used when it's time to replace. My husband is also a mechanic My
    family is from above and below the Mason-Dixon line but I do think it's mainly a southern thing

    It's southern slanf for wallow - as in a Hog Wallow - a mud-hole dug
    out or yallowed out by a hog. Used to describe a hole that has been
    enlarged unintentionally by being a loose fit - wallered out

    On an excavator's youtube work channel out of Derby Indiana, called Dirt Pefect, I just heard them say that vehicles repeatedly going through a low area in a filed had "wallered out a ditch."
    In rural West Virginia I often heard this term used to mean the unintentional widening of a hole, like a bolt hole, and I may have heard it usd to meana the intentional wiening of a hole.
    What I have not heard discussed here (?) is its use to mean the wearing away of threads on a bolt, which I also heard in West Virginia from auto mechanics.

    "Waller" comes from making a "wallow" - what pigs do in mud,
    mostly to stay cool.
    A waller not a well defined hole, so it is what happens to roads,
    holes you drill that for some reason are more oval than round, or
    holes / spots which over time have become out of spec if they ever
    were one.

    What about drilled holes that come out trianguloid in shape?
