Default Etymological question -- "waller" a hole

Straying a little from waller....not born here but been in GA many,
many years. Two terms my northern transplant friends enjoy pointing
out are use of "fixing" and "mash". One meaning someone who had been
made fun of for their drawl might be "fixin'" to apply a severe
thrashing and the other refers to pushing the accelerator or selecting
a floor on the elevator menu.....mash the gas or mash the button. I
know of two guys, one from Kentucky and the other from West
Virginia....both use "postes" and "colyums" when talking about the
plural of a wood post and columns.

I never quite understood the meaning of ":feature".
