Whoops or Woops?

mike o'leary 01-08-2001 22:42

oopsy daisy...but if i had to coose between those two itd be whoops i suppose

Erin Rapacki 01-08-2001 22:44

woops
 
it's WOOPS I tell you, WOOPS!!!

David Kelly 01-08-2001 23:41

it's both. it depends what mood i'm in when i say it.

Anne Lam 02-08-2001 02:16

I am definitely not spending enough time in online chatrooms, have always thought there was only one way to spell whoops...w-h-o-o-p-s...how hard is it to type out the 'h'? nothing against woops though...peace

EddieMcD 02-08-2001 13:34

I say "oops". It's more efficient to type.

Carolyn Duncan 02-08-2001 15:19

I'm an Oooops person too. Unless I'm speaing in German and I say Uuuups. It's just a thing, don't ask.

Clark Gilbert 02-08-2001 15:59

Off Topic....
 
I see my thread/poll slowly going off topic w/ people talking about oo0ps....(Reminder: we are just voting on whoops/woops, oops isnt an option....)


:D

EddieMcD 02-08-2001 16:07

Yes, but this is Chit-Chat, where we are allowed to go off topic.

Carolyn Duncan 02-08-2001 16:11

Ok, Clark. Question. What does woops spell if you mistype and the "w" doesn't show up? BTW, it prolly isn't the best idea to bring up the observation that a topic is getting off topic, that just helps.

Brandon Martus 02-08-2001 16:16

Me thinks Brandon is an instigator.

Christina 02-08-2001 17:51

I'm definitely voting for whoops on this one. It wouldn't even cross my mind to spell it without the "h" honestly.

Jessica Boucher 02-08-2001 19:51

Thank you, Dictionary.com
 
whoops (hwps, wps, hwps, wps) also woops (wps, wps)
interj.
Used to express apology or mild surprise.

mike o'leary 02-08-2001 21:44

what are these whps, hwps, wps things?

Jessica Boucher 03-08-2001 06:41

::shrugs:: they came with the thingy.

mike o'leary 03-08-2001 16:02

i see...abreviations maybe? but why would there be so many abreviations for such a short word?

You mean like Apr. for April? Those little things are weird though. Maybe I can figure out what they are.
I'll let you guys know if I find anything.

EddieMcD 03-08-2001 19:04

Or Jun. for June...

mike o'leary 03-08-2001 19:20

yes...exactly like that...or abr for abreviation, or jan for january, or any other of the million things like that

EddieMcD 03-08-2001 19:30

Well, neither abbreviation nor January are short words.

Typically June is not abbreviated. You know there is such a thing as an abbreviation dictionary. It's way wack.

EddieMcD 04-08-2001 13:36

You may be right there, but you'd be surprised at who and what abbreviate June.

i wanna know what abriviates june...

Brett 08-08-2001 02:54

What about the abbreviation 'May', for May?:p


::runs off:::D

EddieMcD 08-08-2001 11:11

Well by definition, May wouldn't be in abbreviation, it would be the EXACT SAME WORD!

You better run.

Seriously though, Mike that's not even intelligent enough to be stupid.

EddieMcD 09-08-2001 12:42

That wasn't mike. The was one of my enemies, Brett.

since when did you have enemies, Eddie?

EddieMcD 10-08-2001 13:30

EJ. That's all I'm gonna say.

Ooooops! Guess that's what happens when you just kinda glance at the avatar instead of seeing who the poster was. My bust. An enemy of the high preist is a bad thing to be, one can get sent away for such things.

EddieMcD 10-08-2001 20:23

I know. Look at what happened to EJ.

Carolyn Duncan 10-08-2001 20:53

What happened? I don't know who EJ is.

EddieMcD 11-08-2001 11:56

Long story. Actually, I could probably find the whole thing in my chat logs.

Carolyn Duncan 11-08-2001 13:10

Reader's Digest it for me. But don't leave out the important stuff like they do.

EddieMcD 11-08-2001 18:07

Yes! Finally, an excuse to write battle stories.

Carolyn Duncan 15-08-2001 00:23

So write them already. You haven't done it yet.

EddieMcD 15-08-2001 16:12

Well, every thing is in my log. The only problem is translating it to third person.

Actually, it'll give me something to do for the rest of the summer.

how much longer till you start school? we started tuesday august 14th

EddieMcD 15-08-2001 20:24

September 7.

Carolyn Duncan 15-08-2001 23:21

When is your year over and how long is your day?

EddieMcD 16-08-2001 16:21

7:30-1:30, and we get out middle of June.

Well, this is all assuming the teachers don't go on strike. They don't have their contracts yet.

Carolyn Duncan 16-08-2001 16:27

You guys have short days! I had 7:45 to 2:40. Generally though everyone was in school by 7:30 due to traffic and buses. Some genious engineer made one entrance to a high school not realizing that buses, drivers, and drop offs would be clogging up the road. It was always funny to see the backups on the main road. The traffic light was never followed and there was traffic backed up for miles.

EddieMcD 16-08-2001 16:41

Well, we only have one entrance, but traffic flows pretty nicely.

Carolyn Duncan 16-08-2001 16:43

Our entrance was a stoplight. That's why there was such a traffic problem.

EddieMcD 16-08-2001 16:54

That explains it.
