   On an excavator's youtube work channel out of Derby Indiana, called Dirt   
   Pefect, I just heard them say that vehicles repeatedly going through a low   
   area in a filed had "wallered out a ditch."   
   In rural West Virginia I often heard this term used to mean the   
   unintentional widening of a hole, like a bolt hole, and I may have heard it   
   usd to meana the intentional wiening of a hole.   
   What I have not heard discussed here (?) is its use to mean the wearing away   
   of threads on a bolt, which I also heard in West Virginia from auto   
   mechanics.

   The South has lots of localisms, such as "feature" meaning resemble, i.e.   
   you feature your dad. However TV announcers in Atlanta (and Boston) speak   
   like the rest of the US.
