    No. It is very specifically pronounced “Ope”, like “hope” without the “h”, and it has it’s own distinct meaning.

      The thing I’ll say is closer to “‘up” And I use it more like “oh no! You caught me inconveniencing you. I’m so embarrassed 🫣”

      Definitely seems related though…

        I’m a transplant to the Midwest, and I catch myself using it as a “get someone’s attention” noise sometimes.
