Thanks for your comment on my blog! I'm glad you asked about "wallered" because I am certain other readers have had that same question.
It is a common term in my family. AllyKatt was so kind as to post a follow up comment with the definition from urbandictionary. Thank you, Ally! (psssst... Ally- please comment with your blog link so I can add you to my blog roll. You have a few, and I want your preferred one if you please.)
1. Waller: To roll about enthusiastically in or lay upon an undesirable substance. Usually associated with lazy and undesirable connotations. Has origins in Indiana.
In our family, we have Dog Wallers. What is a Dog Waller, you might be asking yourself? A Dog Waller is an old bed sheet or a blanket that you put on your sofa/loveseat so your dog can WALLER on the couch without getting hair or dog stink on your sofa/loveseat. This very well could be an indicator of how "Okie" we really are. That's OK. We are emphatic about our dogs and have no shame at all when it comes to them. Dogs pretty much get top priority, second to the LM's. See picture of our Dogs below: (Yellow Lab is Daisy (aka Rosie). Chocolate Lab is Hailey (aka The Little Dog).
My Mommy (aka Mimilicious) has finally started reading my blog (Hi Mommy!) She has informed me of a few things that I thought I would pass along.
1) Enjoy the Terrorism. It will go away very soon and I will be missing it on my vacation. THIS IS SO WISE. I can promise that all DL and I will do on our trip will talk about the LM's and say LM-isims. We will see children and wish ours were with us... then we'll get over it and go drink a beer.
2) Bitch Panties. Mimilicious reminded me of these and when I read her email to me I laughed outloud. Bitch Panties are for female dogs that are on their cycle. When I was 17, I got my Dalmatian (RIP, Dottie). I considered breeding her and let her go through one cycle. We had to buy her Bitch Panties from our vet. They were fancy with lace and all. You wouldn't want a bitch to have to wear granny panties.
Now I have to go get ready for my last day of "work" before my vacation begins at 4:30. I am going to have to tranquilize myself to sit through an 8 hour training session. I am not a good student. I do not like to sit. I want to be the one talking and the one people are looking at. I'm just an attention whore like that. (I love me some Ashley-isims, so go on over to her site and give her love. She needs it right now.)

I've never heard anyone that's not from Indiana use the term wallered.
I use it daily.
"Ella, stop wallering your sister!"
"Stop wallering on the floor, we're getting ready to go out."
use this one:

i am trying to use it more as my momma blog.
my livejournal one is very private - most posts are locked so you have to be logged in and on my f-list to read them, and my myspace is TOTALLY stalked, so i can't put anything personal in there unless i want PSYCHO BOY reading it...
if you link my blogspot, i PROMISE i'll use it more and write interesting quirky things!
In Georgia, or at least in my family, we use a variation: wallow. As in, Hubs asked me if I had been wallowing in bed all day, or if I had done something productive.
I wear Bitch Panties too.
Why, of course you can add me to your blog roll..... I've already got you on mine!

And thanks for the explanation of "wallered".... maybe I'll start using it and see if I can spread it around Missouri. That's where I live.
We "lake" at the Lake of the Ozarks. Around these parts you can pretty much say "we are going to the lake" and most people assume you are going to the Lake of the Ozarks!
Oh yes, waller. And actually, I say it more like wallerin'- no g needed. It's right up there with fixinta. We say both those a lot at our house.

I'm gonna miss you Hollyanna!
I've always said wallow and understood that waller was just a pronunciation difference...and I've never lived in IN ;)
Such a great word! MUST.make.effort to use more frequently.
Holly-
I hope that since MiMiLicious is reading that you will still be able to use such gracious words such as bitch and shit and all of that jazz!
I have heard of the word wallerd before. I am from IN too.
Anyone from out n the holler?
Oh sweet DOTTIE!! I remember that sweetness!
OK, but I have to say... You may miss the LLM&BLM while on the cruise... but understand the parents that have their kids with them are MISERABLE... I have reading material if you need a refresher!
love you... have fun!
FYI: MIMIlicious is fine with colorful words when used in appropriate circumstances. She taught me how to use the words correctly and in proper situations. For Shit's Sake.
I am so jealous and excited for you that you are going on a "childless" cruise! We just came back from a vacation in Washington, DC with kids and while it was fun (actually we did have a really great time) hubby and I stared longingly at the child-less couples in the fancy restaurants. Have a blast and drink one for me!
Okay, the mention of me helps me forgive the whole "childless cruise" and "housekeeper" incidents.
Love you Holly.
