The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
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.
Second definition. If this can be verified it almost certainly needs a {{slang}} context label. Thryduulf 00:05, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I see that this has been deleted as a "misspelling" of welch. It does not appear to have gone through WT:RFD, nor has it completed RFV for the second regional sense regarding breakfast (however likely it may be to fail.) Therefore, I am restoring it. While this RFV appears to be originally requested only for the breakfast sense, the deletion indicates that we should perhaps do a full RFV for the entry. --Jeffqyzt 17:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Etymology

Sometimes considered offensive?
[edit]I don't know how serious or idiosyncratic it is, but [1].--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Only as offensive as renege, default, cheat, break a promise. DCDuring TALK 15:49, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- You didn't look at the link; this is about the fact that it is the word Welsh (of the people of Wales), and that there is etymological connection (at least according to us.)--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:48, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Is bad pejorative? DCDuring TALK 15:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I had looked at the article, but not the comment. Does anything at “welsh”, in OneLook Dictionary Search. provide such a label? DCDuring TALK 20:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Most of them simply say the etymology is unknown. Macmillan says that many people consider it offensive, but doesn't say why. [2] says that it's possibly etymologically connected to Welsh and says it's sometimes offensive, but doesn't connect the two. Merriam-Webster says probably from Welsh and that it's sometimes offensive. It's not very strong, but we could say that some consider it offensive as a derivation from Welsh.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Then, good catch. We should include something. DCDuring TALK 05:00, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
