N: One who waffles, from the verb waffle, meaning to never settle on a stance on one (or more) issue(s); A waffler usually goes from one side to the other and back again, usually multiple times, depending on who (s)he is talking to at the time. See also panderer.

There is a subtle difference between a waffler and a fence-sitter, most notably in that the fence-sitter never actually decides their stance on an issue/issues.

This term is derived from the food of the same name (waffle), probably because the grid-like patterns on the food resembles how a waffler is on again and off again on their views.

The word has recently made a return to the forefront of common communication with the arrival of John Kerry's (United States) Presidential campaign.
"I used to be for the war in Iraq, until I was against it." - John Kerry (real quote)

Can anyone seriously say that with a straight face? What a waffler. This guy panders so much he makes Al Gore look like a decent person. I feel sorry for anyone who lets themselves get hoodwinked into voting for this fool.

wafflebellies 

A "groupie" for racecar drivers. The distinctive cross-patterns on their bellies are acquired by wearing a halter top and tightly pressing their over-tanned bodies up against the chain link fence which separates them from their objects of desire (the racecar drivers).

The cross patterns closely resemble the patterns (but perhaps the the inverse) of those seen in Belgian waffles.
Wow dude, I was at a dirt track race in Topeka last week and some drunk wafflebellies saw my Dale Jr. hat and totally started necking on me. After my hickies go away, let's go back out there and get'r'done!

Waffly Bollax 

This describes overly lengthy or unnecessary texts, subjects or orations. Often never getting to an actual point or having any substance whatsover.

Used by teachers or other professionals who do not wish to be heard actually swearing about some of the c**p that they have to teach. Could also be used to describe students work.

Should be pronounced Bo-llax.
This lesson is waffly bollax. It has no point to it whatsoever.
