A small mistake · I made a small error
This little gem is perfect when you make a minor, often harmless, mistake. Think dropping a pen, spilling a tiny bit of coffee, or saying something slightly incorrect. It's usually followed by a quick fix or an apology. 😅
💡 **Pronunciation Pro-Tip!** It’s usually pronounced with a soft 'oo' sound (like in 'moon') and a 'ps' sound at the end. It's a friendly way to acknowledge a blunder without making a big deal out of it. It's also often said with a slight upward inflection if it's a question (Oops?).
When would you most appropriately say 'Oops!'? A. 🥳 When you just won $1,000 in the lottery. B. 🤦♀️ When you accidentally hit the wrong button on the remote. C. 🎉 When you successfully completed a difficult project.
