The Midwestern varieties actually say "ope.."
51I’m almost certain “ope” is a clipped version of “whoops” anyway
17You're absolutely right. When I ope about I am 100% saying "Whoop..", but it's clipped down to nothing. It's like a word with a silent letter in it. I'll say "column", and feel the N in my mouth when I speak, but we both know it isn't really there.
I live in Alberta now and am dealing with the conundrum of using "ope", "sorry", and "just gonna sneak on by..."

17This is the second best news I've seen all week.
12Bees are all midwesterners confirmed.
11So I looked up the article and thankfully there is an embedded SoundCloud track up the bees whooping. It's goddamn adorable.
10Holy shit, it really is super adorable lol.
I would happily watch a long video of the bees bumping and whooping.

Wait. This means all bees are juggalos. Are they also drinking fanta and wondering how magnets work?
8It's a reference to Sound of DA Police by KRS-One

Canadian bees let out a "whoop, I'm just gonna scooch on by ya"
7That was also the sound of Gen X bumping at the nightclub in their 20's.
4I say whoop whoop when I'm bumping as well
4TIL that honey bees are Juggalos...whoop whoop.
