Besides, welshing on a deal?

You know, I have always, up until this very moment, thought that the phrase was "welching on a deal" - which, you know, makes absolutely no sense once you think about it, but neither do a lot of idioms. I've never seen it as offensive or culturally-loaded in anyway, probably because who would be offended, other than a bunch of grapes? :))
