  The Midwestern varieties actually say “ope…”

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

      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 “lemme 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.

  Wait. This means all bees are juggalos. Are they also drinking fanta and wondering how magnets work?
