Literature

Potwallopers before the passing of the Reform Bill (1832), were those who claimed a vote because they had boiled their own pot in the parish for six months. (Saxon, to boil; Dutch, opwallen, our wallop.)
Strictly speaking, a pot-walloper is one who wallops or boils his own pot-au-feu. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
