That's the US version. In the UK it's "Neddy" - a baby speak thing for
"Horsie" as in "Gee up Neddy" and "Whoa Neddy". It got plagiarised
over the pond and distorted into "Whoa Nellie", made memorable by
Earthworm Jim et al.
I use it here both as an imperative and to make a sidewise reference
to the horse (of the expired variety) :-). Confession time: I'm a
Pun-a-holic. What? You'd guessed? Oh :-(.
Cheers,
Marck
