Rfv-sense: a gudgeon. There was a very boring conversation in the team room about this term for anyone who cares. GreyishWorm (talk) 23:59, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Probably Middle English. At best obsoleteP. Sovjunk (talk) 11:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

cited. Not even obsolete: it's dialect. But I'm not positive I would consider it a verb. It looks more like "wappered" is an adjective (def 1), although "wappering" (def 2) looks more promising. Have a look at the cites I found and see what you think. (I also found some other meanings, but not enough to meet CFI, so they are on the citations page.)

RFV-passed. The use of wappered out rules out the possibility of this being a standalone adjective, in my opinion. This, that and the other (talk) 23:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
