"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)

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)

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

RFV discussion: April–June 2023

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.
