# vole
## English
### Etymology 1

Borrowed from Norn vollj, from Old Norse vǫllr (“field”), from Proto-Germanic *walþuz (“forest”). The Orkney dialectal term vole mouse, lit. “field mouse”, was introduced to general English by George Barry in 1805; John Fleming in 1828 was first to refer to the creature by the epithet vole alone. Displaced earlier names for these species which also classified them as mice, e.g. short-tailed field mouse.

#### Interjection

vole
* (informal) man, dude
* Ellipsis of ty vole.

##### Usage notes

This interjection is considered vulgar by some people, its primary meaning being "you ass"; however, it is today quite frequently used in very informal speech without any vulgar overtones, either as a friendly address or as an emphasizer; some people lard their talk with it without its having any meaning (similarly to the way some people use "fuck" in English, but "vole" is not so strong). It is often used in the form "ty vole".

### Etymology 2

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *voľe with unclear origin; possibly related to German schwellen, Wulst.

#### Noun

vole n
* crop, craw (pouch-like part of the alimentary tract of some birds)
