O RLY? is an
Internet phenomenon, typically presented as an
image macro featuring a
snowy owl. The phrase "O RLY?", an abbreviated form of "Oh, really?", is popularly used in
Internet forums in a
sarcastic manner, often in response to an obvious, predictable, or blatantly false statement. Similar owl image macros followed the original to present different views, including images with the phrases "YA RLY" (Yeah, really.) and "NO WAI!!" (No way!).
