Great shock/admiration.

A word transformed from the internet, now all the cool people in the world say this.
You nearly crash your car:

"woah nelly that was close!"

You see the most awesome thing you have ever seen:

"woah nelly!"

Get the Woah nelly mug.
A shoddy attempt at a replacement for 'Woo Yay', started by Cashy (thanks Cashy you shit), and now only used by 2 people, after other users saw the error of their ways, and reverted back to using 'Woo Yay'.
Cashy/nwb- "Great pic, Woah Nelly!"

Get the Woah nelly mug.
A bad alternative to "woo yay", used to say that something is clever or funny.
Some would say this gets a woah nelly, but really it gets a woo yay.
