welsh
The adjective form is a proper adjective and must always be capitalized, as it refers to the specific nationality, language, and culture of Wales. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone when used in geographical or linguistic contexts.
As a verb, the term is highly informal and carries a strong negative connotation of dishonesty or betrayal. It specifically targets the act of reneging on a financial obligation or a wager. Because of its origins and the implication of stereotyping, some users consider the verb form offensive or culturally insensitive.
