    The Midwestern varieties actually say “ope…”

      I’m almost certain “ope” is a clipped version of “whoops” anyway

          They’re basically synonyms and I’m not sure which one came first

        You’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…”

    So I looked up the article and thankfully there is an embedded SoundCloud track up the bees whooping. It’s goddamn adorable.
