About
Wallah means man in Hindi. Often it is used in conjunction with other words to form compounds that describe occupations. All of these terms originate in India. Hyphenation is haphazard, I just follow the form that I have noted. One of the curious aspects of wallah is its implication that a person was born for their particular task and hence will never have a different job.

a cook's assistant is a slip of the keyboard?
I can't believe you've not got round to the chai(-)wallah yet — most important for me!

My what sharp eyes you have :-) A cook's assistant is of course a mungy wallah. Chai's on it's way!

I just came across mush-faker, defined in OED2 as "an itinerant umbrella repairer, a tinker". Seems wallahish.

I was thinking about these last night… which would rhyme: a galah-wallah or a dollar-wallah?

Ah! OED says /'wɒlə/. So dollar, collar, scholar, squalor (!)

can't believe I forgot 'dilwala' (dil-wallah), lit. "heart-dude", meaning "loverman" or "he who is devoted to matters of the heart", immortalized in the 11-year-run but still shite mega-megahit Dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge ("The 'dil-wallahs' will get the brides")
