Talk:oop

in English

"oop" is also an interjection, like "oop I made a mistake" or "Oop that's not where I thought it was." --User123o987name (talk) 05:09, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

• I think that is normally oops. SemperBlotto (talk) 05:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I guess so. Here are some more examples:

• February 16, 2012 - Grey's Anatomy 08x15 "Have you Seen Me Lately" https://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7123 - Oh, that's a good-looking lymph node. \ You got it? \ Yeah. \ Oop. \ Did-did he say "Oops"? \ Dr. Bailey. \ What a pleasant surprise. \ The man said "Oops." \ I didn't. \ Actually, Dr. Bailey, I just said "Oop." \ He was picking up a lymph node, almost dropped it, but didn't.
• 2012 - TV and movies, Grey's Anatomy, 09x05 "Beautiful Doom" https://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7137 - Mm. I love you. \ Bye. \ I'll see you in a couple days. \ Oop. \ All right. \ I forgot the fish sticks. \ What for?
• 2016 - speech given in a college located in the United States - "oop um don't have a source for that"

I guess if you search through some English language corpuses "oops" will be more common than "oop". Also, my device is saying that "oops" is spelled correctly, but "oop" isn't (I see a squiggly red underline). --User123o987name (talk) 18:55, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Just in case you're planning to cite: it's the forward slash / not the backslash \ to separate lines. Equinox ◑ 19:08, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

I put what I could find on the citations page. Only one cite supports this definition. It is apparently pretty rare dialect. Kiwima (talk) 02:09, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
