Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news. My name is Jenna, and this is

Smarter News. You know, all I could think about this morning is the term, whoa, Nelly.

That's all that came to mind this morning as I was preparing for scoop.

And I don't even know where that term came from.
