I remember hearing a guy say whoops once and a car was evacuated in record time. The 5 people in it went upwind of the car and 4 of them were asking the fifth what crawled up in him and died.
Translation: we have an issue and it's really bad, but I don't have enough info to make a proper report - and/or I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it.
I once had a doctor cutting a cyst out of me say "whoops." Then he said not to worry about it. Ten years later, nothing has come of it, and I still worry. I sometimes hear that "whoops" in my nightmares.
mistakes in surgery happen more often then you may think, its possible he just accidently cut somewhere that caused unintended bleeding, but it was just somewhere benign so it healed up fine.
Ohhhh! The other word that is associated.. Dad's older brother and a friend in the 1920s ( different times ) went to the Drug store (Pharmacy) and bought Glycerin, then to the Hardware Store and bought concentrated Nitric Acid and concentrated Sulphuric Acid. They brewed up 1/2 ounce of Nitroglycerin.......... This was taken to a nearby dairy farm pasture. Tied the small bottle to a 3 foot high bush . Then from a guesstimated SAFE DISTANCE it was shot at with a .22 caliber rifle........ The Bush Disappeared leaving a 2 inch stump in the ground. OHHH!!! Realization that if they had dropped it in the basement --- it would have 1-- splattered them on the basement walls and 2 lifted probably shattered the 2 floor house and dropped the wreckage into the basement!!! This ??? Idea probably came from the fact that some other young chaps had gone to the butchers shop and collected -- blood --- guts --- and bones the to the Hardware store for Dynamite......

A friend of mine and I were drinking a bit and I were fiddling around with the circuitry of an old dvd player I had lying around. It was some minor repair anyone could fix. I accidentally removed the solder on a part I didn't mean to, and of course said "whoops". My friend went white in the face and almost ducked away from what he was doing just a meter or so away. When I asked what was the matter with him he answered; "Normally that word if fine, but when YOU say it, I tend to panic." He didn't want to go any deeper into it than that, so I'm still left wondering which time I said whoops that had mentally scarred him that way.
The guy who refilled the gas tanks where I worked at used to tell me that if I ever saw him running, I should run in the opposite direction. I told him that I would play it safe and run perpendicular to whichever direction he was running, in case he was running away from what he considered to be a _lost cause._
In science there are three important words. Excellent, odd and whoops. The first means everything went perfectly to plan. The second means that you’ve just come across something that shouldn’t happen under your current understanding of science. The third is that you just had something go significantly wrong and you didn’t plan for it. Odd things are the most interesting things because you learn something new. Whoops means that you’ve now got to sort out the problems that you have created.
I think they should have added: "When a human swears and complains loudly about a machine, everything is fine. But the moment he says whoops you better get away from that!"
This is basically half of all humans in Star Trek. I could see a Vulcan relaying this story. Maybe a bit less emotional but no less traumatized at the thought of a human saying "Whoops".
'Whoops' is usually reserved for after the event in question, so you're at least somewhat safe. If someone goes 'uh oh', 'shit' (severity dependent the numer and speed of it's repetition) or 'nonononono,' something has gone wrong, with the odds of preventing disaster diminishing for each one...

Well, buddy, that´s in the aftermath of things. Let me introduce you to the two syllables that can mean the next few seconds will be annoying, catastrophic or mean simply death. Here they are, and listen well, cause if you hear them, running is mostly futile: "Uh-Oh!"
There's varying degrees of alarm humans like to use. Whoops = That didn't go as planned. Uh-oh = Cause for concern. May or not be a bad thing. Oh, sh!t = Something bad is about to happen. Whoops is by far the better outcome in alarming situations.
Down here in Florida you're likely to also hear "Hold my beer" followed by "Watch this.". Often preceded by "I betcha can't..." or"You think I can..." accomplish a useless but likely dangerous task. Humans, the Florida kind are the worst.
I mean, "Whoops" is for AFTER the thing already happened, so you aren't getting a whoops unless you survived. "uh oh" is FAR more terrifying because that's BEFORE the event and you've got like 2 seconds to start running or put your head between your knees. You can also replace "uh oh" with the worst words a human can utter in a life threatening situation. "Oh....shit" or "(pause)....fuck".
I don't remember saying "Whoops", but I do remember saying, "I shouldn't have done that." It only involved injury to myself though. I still have the scars.
I did quite a few times. Once when i lost balance on a motorcycle, once when i dropped my son (best dad of the century, fortunately the kid was ok) and probably the biggest whoops i had when i unintentionally bricked automation process in my job, by assigning a product to a inactive zone on the completion station. There was no way to confirm or cancel it and once assigned it couldn't be reasaigned to a different station untill the process wasn't finished, so i was pissing my pants as technical staff was trying to unassign said product to unbrick the process. I thought i would be fired immediately.
Whoops is right up there with "what does this button do?" and "ok, one of 2 things is about to happen" after something that's fragile has been shot. Like a swimming pool, made of glass.....thats suspended 100ft off the ground.
there is another word that you need to keep an eye out for, and that is F.U.B.A.R. THAT is a bad one too, though that one generally comes AFTER whoops, SOMETIMES before, but generally after.
"hold my beer" is the precursor to a "whoops" usually followed by an "uh oh" and then quickly by an "oh sh1t" which then absolutely results in something blowing up or someone dying
Actually after the blue flash and they knew they probably absorbed a lethal dose of radiation the phrase uttered was a chilling "....well, that does it."

"Hold my beer." Is also one of those problematic problematic phrases you should watch out for.
The more safety measures a human decides to implement, the less safe you are.
seat belt, roll cage, crumple zone, air bags and all sorts of assists to controll the vehicle. In short, you're not safe while driving.
If you see a human running TOWARDS something run the other way . If you see a human running AWAY from something try to keep up .
That last sentence, pure gold.
gotta have at least one who REALLY thinks outside the box
And if you hear "ahhh shit..." it's already too late to run.
Unless it’s followed by “here we go again.”
Woops is our acknowledgment of a mistake and also to cope with a major mistake with an unintentional outcome, sometimes a near death experience.
_Whoops_ means it was inconsequential, or that it was so consequential it doesn't matter what word you use, they'll all be insufficient.
As a retired maintenance engineer I can relate to this although just used to say oops 😊
got in a bit of "percussive maintenance" too I bet.
The next worse thing is when anyone says:

Then the scientist called to the others who scrambled away to come back and mark their exact locations on the floor with chalk to gauge how much radiation each person had just taken and guess their life expectancy 😮

Funniest story I've run across in these SF story channels. Thanks!
Ok, that's it. The next time I'm having a bad day this thing is playing on a loop. I'm laughing so hard right now.
My god! This is exactly why I fear the day humankind reaching level 1 on the Kardachev scale! Lmao
Dont forget that it can be upgraded to when a human who says Whoops and cause that instead says Run.
"Hey y'all.. watch this'' you're going to have a bad time.
You never know when you need something one someone to explode or die
So using the Hyper drive for popcorn is a Bad Idea Whoops!!!!!😖
@@CDWCAULDRON it all depends how tasty are those popcorn 🍿
@@lvluptoaverage52 Hyper drive popcorn with extra butter and sea salt , so worth it in the Life Pod..🤨 whoops i hit the homing beacon!
'Demon Core' popcorn is some of the tastiest, and it's really easy to find in the dark!
@@oldnick4707 Demon Core is radio active do not eat popcorn from this .
Hyper drive popcorn id Made Just out side the Drive unit, some times the Popcorn goes in to the field area and may disrupted the field. this can cause Power surges in the weapons pods or drive unit!
See document 1/1a 4c
OMG this was absolutely fantastic.
Do more of these please.
When people who normally swear so much the paint is peeling off the walls just say, "Whoops," your best bet is to GTFO ASAP.
This is an alien's stand up routine.
I love this stuff.
"Whoops" is my favourite word.
love this story especially the end.
Laughed so hard I cried listening to this! 🤣
This is by far the funniest shit i have ever heard. Learned that the hard way in the Coast Guard.
Humans don´t make mistakes....we have happy accidents ^^
HAHAHA - Whoops....love this....
Only recently discovered your channel by accident and enjoying the content so far. But this one is comedy gold - more of the same please....
This is sooo true in my field of work too.
Although, we luckily can only make expensive damage.
Good one. Thanks‼️
Yep, that's humans for you.😂😂😂
Thank you 💐🌺💐for all your effort & the time you put in when uploading this. It is really truly appreciated 🙏

"F-ing awesome. Now let's try it like this"... ( Daisy cutter clearing a LZ., Napalm, Spooky gunship, etc.)
Holy shit I’m still laughing my ass off. 🤣😂🤣
Oh gods, this had me crying I was laughing so hard.
They’re crazy man, be careful you don’t misstep around them, Otherwise something or someone will cease to exist.
That’s why I always keep one with me at all times
"Explode or die", "both!?". R.I.P. Norm Macdonald!!
Thanks for the laugh. It was sorly needed . Have a great day.
I think the only thing worse than whoops is "That wasn't supposed to happen"
