A modification of the word "well" that expresses exasperation, frustration, and resignation. Often accompanied by a shaking of the head. The excrescent p, called a bilabial stop, found in words like yep, and nope, is somewhat like a stifled laugh ("pfft"), a quick closing off of the word, enhancing the resignation in it, and indicating that the mouth is on its way to stating something further. Sometimes spelled welp.
Wellp, looks like we should start walking, this vehicle is thoroughly wrecked.

Cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman (creator of 'MAD' magazine) used the word in a piece called "The Grasshopper and the Ant" (Esquire - May, 1960). Ant, having just seen a caterpillar devoured by a bird says, "Wellp... Back to work. Grain to gather."

Health and Well-being 

Health and well-being can mean different things within different cultures and may even change over time. A negative definition would be the absence of physical illness or disease and psychological distress. A positive definition would be the attainment and maintaining of physical and psychological fitness. Unfortunately, the label was used by discriminatory feminists to promote female only rest areas from which all males are excluded. Even the so-called experts couldn’t leave it alone; they had to have a holistic definition, namely, that health and well-being is the result of a combination of physical, social, intellectual and emotional factors, which most people could have worked out for themselves, aren’t “experts” wonderful.
“Some dozy bimbo from HR wants to run health and well-being awareness courses, just so she can peddle her feminist bullshit.”
