Definition
'Feller' is an informal or regional way to say 'fellow' (man or boy), especially in rural or Southern US English. It can also mean someone who cuts down trees (a lumberjack).
Usage & Nuances
'Feller' is informal and mostly found in rural, Southern, or 'country' speech; not used in formal writing. Common in stories, songs, or to add a rustic feel. As 'tree feller', it's more job-specific. Don’t confuse with 'fellow', which is more general and slightly formal.
