My last call into tech support did not even approach whelming me with their skills and in fact, it felt like I was talking to cats.

From the Middle English whelmen (to turn over, capsize, invert, turn over), from the Old English hwhealmian or hweilfan ( to cover over) and originally from the German (Saxon).
