Best to delete Palsy Walsy then. I couldn't imagine asking a nursery for that.

In the US at least, it is an older slang term:

adjective Slang.
friendly or appearing to be friendly in a very intimate or hearty way:
The police kept their eye on him because he was trying to get palsy-walsy with the security guard.

I initially read it as palsy, as in Bell's Palsy.
