I suppose I’ll allow it since you’re a Midwesterner and have likely said “ope” or “lemme slide by ya” this week. I'm not from the midwest, but I say both of those things on a regular basis. Ope? What does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like “oops” but often preemptive Trying to get past someone on a grocery store aisle and they start to take a step back into you, a little “Ope” let’s em know you’re there. Washing the car and you see the hose is getting pulled and it’s gonna tip over the soap bucket, you say “ope” as you hustle over the the bucket before it tips. Old lady drops her credit card at Applebee’s? You say “ope” as it’s falling just before you reach to pick it up for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I’ll allow it since you’re a Midwesterner and have likely said “ope” or “lemme slide by ya” this week. I can't think of a single situation in my life where I would say "ope". I definitely say "lemme move by ya" or something to that effect. Though to be fair I'm not great at that either. I almost got in a fight at the grocery store recently because this dude in front of me not only just left his cart in the middle of the aisle but actually abandoned it so quickly that the cart had some spin on it. So by the time he started scanning the food, he had the cart parked the long way across in the middle of the aisle, and no one could move. And to me, the idea that some dude could be so self-absorbed that he literally just let his cart go like a blind kid throwing a baseball into the void was hilarious, so I started laughing. But the problem was that I laughed too hard, and then he realized I was laughing at him. Tensions escalated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) There was a thread about this on reddit just within the last couple weeks, asking people about phrases or words they say that other people don’t. ”Ope” was one that quite a few people claimed they said regularly Edited July 22, 2019 by Dome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve laughed at a stranger before, just to realize they really don’t like being laughed at by a stranger. Tensions escalated there too. Several minutes later he was removed from the store lol.

I have tried many times to stop myself, but it is impossible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
