Good grief, young woman!

You don't know what Wellies are?

Glowworm will be in here shortly, and promptly, in order to elucidate!

That I will, can't have the colonial girlies getting out of order.



Welly, wellies:

Wellington boot. Calf length, waterproof rubber footwear.

Also known as Wellygogs.

May also be commonly used to encourage more acceleration, power or force as follows in these examples:

"Turn left here and give it some welly."

"He was really wellying it down the High Street when the plod nicked him"

"You'll not get that bush in there by tapping it with a toffee hammer, welly it with the lump hammer."
