Hi Guys,

I'm not trying to be referee but the German noun Waller means pilgrim or 
traveler, while there are a few German words for catfish in my 
dictionaries and probably several more in local dialects. The commonest 
seem to be Katzenfisch (natch), Wels/Katzenwels and, less common, 
getigerte Hai, although quite how a fresh-water fish comes to be called 
a tiger-striped shark is a mystery to me. Either way, I much prefer 
Waller's Yacht Club Swing to catfish any day.

Cheers,

Ken
