welshing

Read a random definition: front pay

A quick definition of welshing:

Term: Welshing

Definition: Welshing is when someone avoids paying back money they owe, especially in gambling. It can also refer to a type of stealing where someone takes a deposit with the intention of cheating the person who gave it. Some people think the term is a slur against people from Wales, but experts don't know where it really comes from.

Other Forms: Welching, welsher (person who welshes)

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The act of avoiding an obligation, especially a gambling debt. It can also refer to the act of cheating and defrauding someone by receiving a deposit to be paid back with additional money depending on the outcome of an event, but then absconding with the money instead.

Although some people believe that this term is a slur against those from Wales, its origin is actually unknown according to authoritative dictionaries.

Examples:

  • He promised to pay back the money he owed, but he ended up welshing on the debt.
  • The welsher took the deposit and disappeared, leaving the depositor with nothing.

These examples illustrate how welshing involves avoiding an obligation or cheating someone out of their money.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
