Thread Name: Folklore: Whence came tickety-boo, kilter, & whack
Subject: RE: Folklore: Whence came tickety-boo, kilter, & whack
SussexCarole: "Whack = account - bill ": not quite, to pay one's 'whack' is generally used to mean one will pay one's fair share of the bill, not the whole thing.
Chambers 20th Century: whack:...to settle accounts...a share...

So not quite conclusive in that dictionary
