He's a nearly-neal.

Nearly Witches 

a song included on Fall Out Boy's mixtape, CitizensFOB Mixtape: Welcome To The New Administration. the artist listed is The Paul Revere Jumpsuit Apparatus, but this is suspected to be a codename for band Panic At The Disco as the vocals are unmistakably lead singer Brendon Urie's. the mixtape was available to download for free off Fall Out Boy's Friends or Enemies website.

person 1:"have you heard Fall Out Boy's mixtape?"

Nearly mentally ill

Pretending or saying to have a mental illness or mental health problems just for SOME aspects of it that are considered "cool" or "emo", but being disgusted by non-glamourous aspects of that mental illness.

Examples:
Saying you have depression because you're sad lately, but being disgusted by someone who can't get up to take a shower.
Saying you have anxiety because you're feeling stressed lately, but laughing at someone having a panick attack.

If you're mentally ill and don't brag about it you're likely to not be nearly mentally ill.

"Because of my black sweater and my earphones on, people will assume I have depression and I'll be cool !" : this is a nearly mentally ill behaviour
"I wash my hands before AND after going to the bathroom. I'm so OCD !"

Nearly Dead 

Turning 32, single, all your friends are married and reproducing, you've traveled, want to see more but are bound by societies idealism of buying a house settling down and forgetting about the world.

Plus you live in the state of Western Australia, where everyone drives slow, is scared of change and don't venture outside after dark in fear of their walking frames being stolen.

Happy Birthday mate "yeah thanks", hold on how old are you? I'm 32.

Shit dude you're single and living in Perth, you're nearly dead.

Nearly Not A Virgin 

When you ain't a virgin but you ain't a lad either. Your at a tragic point in your life where you have many times nearly lost your V-card but due to your awkwardness and lack of chat you failed to get some.

Person 1: Hey ain't see you in a while, you still a virgin?
Person 2: It's complicated
Person 1: What do you mean ??
Person 2: I'm nearly not a virgin

Nearly Pissed On the Third 

Derives from the episode of Mythbusters:

A saying that describes how close something was to happening. Usually uttered when in relief that something tragic did not occur.

The saying has it's origins in the Mythbusters episode where they rigged a dummy up to urinate on the third rail, of a railway track, which would subsequently give a lethal amount of electricity.

Jon: Aw mate imagine if you went out with Cersei.

Davos: I almost did.
Jon: No fucking way.
Davos: Yea, but she didn't like older guys, Christ, can you imagine? I nearly pissed on the third.
