Talk:Wally

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since when has wally ever been a slang word for a gherkin? The only defition that I have ever heard, or that I can find in a dictionary is 'a silly or inept person'. Calling someone a wally is like calling them a fool.--Jcvamp 06:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

It's cockney slang. My family have "pickled wallies". Secretlondon 22:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

It should specify that it's cockney slang then.--Jcvamp 18:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Added mention in the intro that Wally is a familiar form for Walter or Wallace. 74.94.101.116 (talk) 20:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
