I took it upon myself to ask my only Welsh student what "welch"

and "Taffy" mean. As you can see by his name, he's about as Welsh

as you can get. Here's how he responded....

Hello!

Regarding your queries, I have no idea what 'to welch a bet' means,

but 'Taffy' is a derogatory term used to refer to a welsh boy.

I don't know how much use that is to you.
