I never realized that this was even in my vocabulary until Charlie started talking about it. And then I realized that I say it a million times a day.
Same
@@kirstenweix2007 Uffda...you're right :(
Same
I realize I say it constantly now that it’s become a meme lmao
Exactly the same. The I also didn’t realize how often I say come here once quick.
Snap back to reality
OPE there goes gravity
OPE there goes Rabbit
This is what I thought I heard growing up lmao
That's not what he's saying?
Cash Krom Supernerd11 ope
@@patrickmeador8389 That is what he's saying. "Ope, there goes rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't"
He is from Michigan after all.
As a Michigander, I had NO CLUE that this expression is part of my daily vocabulary! It's less of a "word" than an involuntary automatic response 😂
Exactly but I am from Ohio and I never thought about saying it it just happens
Same! I never realized it until I read something about how people from the Midwest say it. And I was in denial until later that day I said “ope” bc I ran into something 🤦♀️😂
A woman hit me with a shopping cart in Meijer and I said ope sorry before I even registered what had happened and that I was mad about it.
@@LillibitOfHere Exactly!! 😅
It's pretty much a curse word without being vulgar at all that is used in much lighter circumstances. It just comes out much the same way.
Everyone who disliked this video is from them shadowy places.
It’s something in the açaí
I'm from them shadowy places and I disavow this video, we do not eat açai bowls in the South, we eat barbecue
@@ThinWhiteAxe I thought everyone ONLY eats acai in the south.
@@willemburger5328 only in hipster cities like Raleigh
I live in the shadowy area and I Liked the video…lol
"Ope" was a foundation argument of my Master's of "Wisconsin Wordology" thesis and I traced its earliest usage back to the Beer Purity Law of 1516 that states beer can only be made from "Water, Barley and Hops, ȍpe 'en Yeast. It's a valid Scrabble word so play it wisely.
Oof dah this guy knows this stuff.
I can’t tell if this is bs or not? 🤣
@@koloan93 Ya, er no?
Is Wisconsin wordology an actual degree
@@shadowlynxv6082 You bet, with all the advancements in communications tech, it's one of the top degrees at the build-it-as-you-go Virtual Academy in my head. Presently the TOP Life Doctor degrees at the academy are Zen Booyahism Immersion and Physiology & Qualitative Response to Belgian Penicillin.
Ohioan here, and this made me realize that we’re the melting pot of classic Midwest and whatever is going on in West Virginia.
Ope-ioids
TheMaskedGossip you really didn’t have to
Too accurate.
Ohio is a buffer state
TheMaskedGossip lmao
Another foundational Midwestern thing:
Saying "Mmmbye" at the end of a phone call
I do this....all the time...
I hate you for pointing that out.
I do that and I’m from Louisiana
Wait, that's... that's not a universal thing? 😂
Or at the beginning of the call saying
Yellow
Beginning of video I think, “what are you talking about?” By the end, I’m like, “I’m pretty sure I say this 1,000 times a day.”
Exactly!
Me too!
You left out the rapid fire "ope ope ope ope" as a caution/attention getter, often used with children and dogs. (When I watched this, I realized I had just used it with my dog on a walk a few minutes before.)
Oh my goodness I forget about this and you are completely correct xD
commonly misspelled as 'uh bup bup bup' though pronounced as such.
🤣🤣🤣
I had to say it out loud to realise that I do indeed do the rapid fire ope as well 🤣
But when theres a fifth ope it means "come on ya silly goober"
What about that dark place?
They eat avocado toast.
😂😂😂
Jarppilarpagus nah Georgia don’t but everywhere else is weird
Naw, we don't eat that stuff in Philly
@@jacksonmeads1161 welp, Atlanta do. We all kinds of fancy and cuntry down herrr.
You must never go there.
I’m feeling attacked, my company serves it for breakfast on Wednesday’s 🤷♂️
The "Open" sign in the back with the "N" taped off 😂
Genius!😃
This is actually very similar to how we talk up in Canada lol. “Ope let me squeeze right past ya” is a common phrase up here too 😂
Ope lemme sneeeeak right past ya buddy
I don’t think any of us from Wisconsin or Minnesota would notice if Canada annexed us.
Can confirm it reaches as far south as Kansas. I didn’t realize it until some friends drew attention to it lol
South west Ontario here, we’re basically the Midwest
@kshamwhizzle just let us keep them and we’ll be cool
They eat avocado toast and acai bowls 😂😂😂
"You must never go there" XD
Guilty
Acai is pronounced ahsahyee? damn ive been saying "ah - kie"
I don’t eat avocado toast and açai bowls, and I’m from South Carolina açai bowls and avocado toast are the weirdest things ever eaten in the “shadowy places” 1:23
@@KingSlimjeezy If somebody said it the way you sounded it out i wouldn’t have known what they were talking about.
Ope. Almost missed this before I watched it real quick.
glad ya caught it heck yes
I’m from St Louis and deliver beer for a living I say “ope sorry” and “ let me squeeze behind you real quick “ 20 times a day
I’m Canadian, everything for the Midwest still applies up here
Worked at a hotel and a friend would point out every time I said “ope” I said I was just giving guests an authentic Midwest experience
I like how yall added Kansas in there after the fact. A little, Ope didn't mean to exclude ya there.
I grew up in NYC but my dad said ope his parents came from Kansas so I grew up the weirdo who said ope all the time
Born and raised Kansas and can confirm we ope it up here 😅
From Erie Pennsylvania. #Me Too.
Ope did I do wrong?
Kansan as well, can admit I've used Ope more times than I'd like to admit.
@@bradleyweiss1089 Pennsylvania?! You're an Easterner. What are you doing here, fer gosh sake?
Native Californian here. Been saying "OPE" most of my life. Never been to the mid -West except for a two hour layover in Chicago once. Must have caught it then.
Same, I’m from the Bay Area and I often use “ope” before excuse me. None of my relatives are from the midwest, so it’s funny that it’s apparently a thing.
🎶 *Ope I did it again...*
*Little off key, but--*
*Ope, sorry, mimimiii*
I was born and raised in AZ but my dad is from northern Wisconsin and growing up I would say this, and I still do. I never thought anything of it until I started watching these videos 🤣
Brittany W i was born and raised in AZ too but my dad is from detroit, and my BIL’s family is from wisconsin.
I don’t know if i picked it up from any of them but i deff do say Ope!
Can relate. Born and raised in Cali here and I'm wondering if this is some kind of midwestern-parent osmosis situation.
I was raised in AZ, then went to Minnesota for a little bit.
When I got back to AZ, there are things I noticed that stuck with me from listening to them all the time in the midwest.
One thing I noticed, is the word ope jumped into my vocabulary.
Also some of the midwestern sounds like the o's, a's, and r's stuck with me.
Lol same! Dad is from Iowa, Mom's parents from North Dakota but I grew up in Idaho, I say this and never realized it til Charlie pointed it out😂😂😂
I am German and just realized that we say it too, at least some people. It’s kind of an emphasized „ohh“ you use when something goes wrong and you want to express both awareness of the situation, alert others and apologize to them in the same word. Like „ope, I just bumped into you, don’t fall, I am sorry“.
Here I was sitting, wondering if my ope/oh usage just comes from my from foreign exchange stay in Kentucky or if it's a German thing too. Maybe we brought it to Wisconsin?
Germany is now part of the Midwest. Between ope and beer I think your in.
This is so cool . I am Bulgarian , we say OP for all the same reasons you mentioned , The Greek also say it but i believe it is an actual word over there .
We have watched this amazing video so many times! My 7 yo son almost has it memorized 🤣 Tonight at McDonalds the girl at the drive thru speaker said “Ope” - he said “She just Ope’d you! Give that girl a beer!” 😂💙😂
🤣
😂
1:55 "ope"n notes......nice
"You can never go there" he says
After correctly pronouncing acai. 😂
The most Midwestern statement that exists is "Ope just gonna sneak right past ya"
Love this video 😂
Scandinavian heritage is why I say “Ope” a lot - you betcha 😂😂
My wife and I, as western Canadians, recently learned of "oofta" from watching the first season of Fargo.
We now say it as frequently as we possibly can. But i'd like to learn more about it's appropriate usage, so im looking forward to the School of Oofta
I'm from South Central KS. Born and raised here. We definitely use the, "Ope, let me squeeze by you." Or "Ope, sorry about that." Especially now with social distancing in effect everywhere it's very polite and effective when you get too close to another customer. I'm finding I have more in common with my northern Midwestern brothers and sisters than I ever realized. Made a friend online from MI back in 2015 and we have visited each other a few times. MI almost feels like home to me. I would consider moving there but I hear your winters are pretty killer. Also had the joy of taking the ferry over to WI from Grand Rapids in summer 2019. More good Midwestern folks over there.
Kansas is the land where "ope" meets "y'all," equal parts Midwest and South lol
I remember in 2nd grade trying to figure out if it was spelled "ope" or "ohp"
ohpe the h is silent
As soon as realized this was a thing, I noticed that myself and most of the people I know say it CONSTANTLY. The ope is alive and well in Kansas.
Ope is such a part of my everyday vocabulary I don't even notice it anymore. Did they say it more than once?
I never realized how much I said ope until I learned it was a Midwest meme
Normal VSCO girls : “and I opp”
VSCO girls from North Dakota / Minnesota : “and I ope!”
Edit: Holy cow this really blew up!
Allie Sun as id like to call it, a wisco girl
And I oop.
And I ope.
Are you a VSCO girl? According to your profile picture: you are.
Or Indiana
i can confirm this because i live in north dakota
I’m crying from laughter, pure gold thank you guys
Hey, I’m Here today with the announcement of Walz as Harris VP….
Sadly as a south Floridian, I was ignorant of the midwestern slang of the “OPE” that was being thrown around…
Funny…come to find out that I have ALREADY been just “OPE-ING” my way through life unbeknownst to me since childhood.
Thanking my Mom and Dad, their exquisite impeccable manners, and down to earth friendliness, that I am already ahead of the curve here!
Thank you for the OPE tutorial.
Welcome Tim Walz, your midwestern ethos is SO down to earth and a breath of fresh air in this mean cynical just plain awful political nightmare we are in.
I’m from Indiana... and now I realize that I say “ope sorry” all the time 😮
We all say it more than we think..
Hahaha. The whole reason I found this is because I was waiting for my son's bus with him and it was late and just as I was getting worried it pulled up and I said "ope, there it is!" And I was painfully aware that I'd said it because a few days ago someone pointed out that we say that a lot and in my mind I was like "no we don't!" But ya, we totally do. And I'm proud gosh darnit! I googled "ope" after I said it and this painfully accurate video popped up. 😄
You treat this like a comedy sketch but as someone from New Jersey I’m learning a lot
😂
This is very accurate, we don’t eat avocado toast in Michigan
Ope has spread to Colorado as well. You monsters.
Yep. I'm also from Colorado. You don't hear it very often, but it is used. I know that I have used it many times.
They say OOFTA in Norway for the same reasons. Tell me how'd that happen? 😯
Yeah, we've infiltrated Colorado. I lived out there for a decade, only got funny looks for saying "please" instead of "huh?" Which is pretty much a dead giveaway for where I'm from. I ran into former midwesterners all the time.
Everything is spreading to Colorado.
From central MN. I babysat for our neighbor's. The little boy was about 1. He kept getting into things that belonged to my husband. I would say "ope that's Joe's", "ope that's Joe " all day. The little guy thought I was saying Oats so that is what he called my husband for years. Guess I say Ope a lot.
I've lived in Nebraska most of my life. Its funny but most of us don't realize we say it until someone points it out. Now my wife and I both start laughing when one of us uses it.
Teacher: You must never go there.
Student:😳
You betcha.
I didn't know I needed this collaboration, but it makes so much sense now...
Yesssss, they threw in an Uff-dah at the end.
As an immigrant in the Midwest, “ope” must have been the first mannerism I learned. I never realized it until I watched this video.
I'm European with a heavily Americanized accent (thanks US domination of global media) and I never before realized that I, too, use 'ope' quite frequently.
Guess I'll have to swing by the Midwest soon to pick up my honorary citizenship.
It never really hit me that we actually said ope all the time until this lady almost bumped into me and we both went "ope, sorry"
I’ve never been more proud of my state for making something so beautiful
1:26
Me: *stops mid-chew, mouth full of Avacado toast*
I just laughed so hard, I startled the dog.
Can we talk about the Ope dialects though, because in Iowa it's "Oop" instead.
Yeah; here in northern Indiana, it's more of an "Oop" too.
Likewise in NW IL
as a fellow Iowan, oop is when you make a mistake and ope is when your trying to get past someone
"Ope, excuse me..."
Yep! So true
Not having lived in Wisconsin, this is way over my head. I get a kick out of everything else! The Manitowoc Minutes are terrific
Im from west virginia and we say this all the time. The squeeze right past ya had me dying! Be in subway or something trying to get a straw while someone else is going to fill up their cup and you hit em with the "Ope my bad, lemme just squeeze around ya here fella"
I don't know if he's exaggerating his accent or not, but I like it
He is. His normal accent is as pronounced like in these skits.
If you say "wope" you like the bears.
I hope it makes you as happy as it makes me my daughter is 2 and she says ope anytime she bumps into someone drops something or sees me do the same. I am a proud father.
I'm a lifelong Chicagoan and I just realized I've been saying this my whole life. I think it came from a combination of "oh" and "oops".
Currently sharing this with all my new California friends and coworkers so they can join the ope side. (Been working on teaching Midwesternisms for a few weeks.)
I'M HERE IN FOR NERISSA RAVENCROFT
Make that two of us.
I came from 4chan where they were complaining about Nerissa possibly ntr'ing them with male collabs.
😯PE
My roommate is from Illinois and he has used ope so often that it is now part of my vocabulary. I'm from the east coast.
😂 Why is this so accurate? Thank you for making this! Now I can finally direct my coastal friends to an instructional video! 😂😂😂
I come from Oklahoma, the only place where you'll hear "ope, sorry to hear about that tornado hittin' your house, y'all wanna go to Braum's to cheer up?"
Not quite, you could hear that in Kansas, too. I'm actually related to the folks who make all of Braum's's signs lol
"Ope, if yer goin, could y'all bring me back a nummr 6, no ketchup, large fry, with a banana shake? I'll have the dead tree limbs picked up outta the yard by the time y'all get back, we c'n grab some bag chairs from the g'rage and eat around a farr in the back paschyer." :)
I seriously use it 527495 times a day.
Reaching past someone at the grocery store who is partially blocking the item you want:
"Ope, I'm just gonna steal this from ya."
I’m from the south and I say it. I think the light touches a little further south...
Dixie Hilton From Georgia and same. I’ve never heard anyone else say it. 🤷🏻♀️
People say it throughout North America. It's not unique or original to the Midwest, it's just a short way of saying "oops"
Hahah I never noticed it until friends from other places mentioned it lol
I was born in WstAllis, grew up in Muskego, and until now I NEVER thought I used ope. But now I see it used in context, and ope der it is!
Now for the real comment. Ope, where is Da Manitowoc Minute? I haven’t had a best minute of my life in WEEKS! YA retiring der, Charlie?
I didn't I would find someone else on one of these videos who grew up in the same town! This video was also a real eye opener because I found out I say "ope" 34827 times in one day. I always thought growing up I didn't have an accent but now it's painfully obvious...
Teacher: a noun, verb, adjective?
Student: Yes
This channel has made me realize how much my Midwestern mother has influenced my mannerisms. Ope.
I've lived in Texas for over a decade and I still stay "ope, sorry. Lemme squeeeeeze right past ya."
DarkShadows713 ...”ope” in Dallas? That’s not a good sign...(from Prosper, Texas but born in Des Moines)
I genuinely want to know how, as a lifelong southerner, this developed as a natural part of my vocabulary, without any Midwestern, family or friends… 😂
So true.... there’s never i day I haven’t said ope about something 🤷🏼♀️😂
Ope, you sure are right.
I was born and still live in Anchorage Alaska. I noticed I started saying "ope" when I was trying to navigate through a crowded area (school, mall, church, etc.)
I've never lived elsewhere, and grandpa on my moms side is from South Carolina. He had a thick SC accent. The rest of us are Alaskan native/Russian/Swedish decent.
Its funny finding similarities I relate with in these videos.
“You are entitled to one pepperoni.”😂
I’m not even midwestern and this word has snuck into my vocabulary. Must be what happens when you have midwestern relatives that you have visited from ages 0-14. 🤣
This is hilarious and so true. I have been out of the Midwest for 20 years but I still say “ope” for everything. And yeah, placement with the sentence is key.
Too real. didn't realize until a couple years ago that this isn't a country-wide thing.
I'm from Florida and I say it a lot... My parents are from NY so I don't know where I got it from lol
For me, as a native Minnesotan, listening to Charlie say, "there guy" was the equivalent of Stephen Tyler watching Spinal Tap.
😂😂😂 I seriously use this all the time and ppl in cali look at me weird.
Jeana Schaefer it’s cuz you’re calling it cali. Lmao.
I'm from Cali and say it all the time
Me and my avocado toast feel attacked
Enjoying this from CA w/ a nice piece of Avocado Toast...OPE!
I thought there is no way I say this, as I'm from the Midwest, then yesterday I dropped something.....
Best collaboration ever
Also the fact that it takes 30+ minutes to end a conversation 😂
What a refreshing collaboration video haha. I say ope every time the elevator opens and someone else is already inside.
Today I learned that I as a Californian am a midwesterner; I've been saying this my whole life

This was like watching some alternate dimension historical reality squished into the format of UA-cam in my reality.
I find myself saying this a few times a day & have to chuckle quietly to myself thinking of these videos. Thanks Charlie. 😂
The White Claw bit killed me
Thank you so much for this gem!
I dont see Ohio on the map. Whenever an Ohioan says ope, a cornstalk pops out the ground and that's why we're the corn capital.
I think the teacher is supposed to be from Michigan which is probably why 😅 I bet he's a UofM fan...
Illinois is the corn capital. Then a iowan will correct me, then a nebraskan will put all of us to shame.

Hey there, fellow Hoosier!
I’ve watched this like 5 times now. Just noticed the sign in the background and the “ope ‘n’ notes” jokes. 😂
I’m in southern England and I say this.
I think it’s a combination between “oh” and “whoops”.
I didn’t know it was a word or a thing!
The eat avocado toast, wear skinny jeans and ride fixed gear bikes🤣👍
You mean the East Side of Milwaukee?
Stupid fixies
It’s funny cause I’m from California and I have been using this phrase all the time without realizing that this was a meme. Before this was a meme I have always said this when I accidentally bump into people and it makes my day knowing that I’m not the only person who says OPE
It's not a Midwest thing. Everyone says it. The Midwesterners are just desperate for something to call their own
Born and raised in Jersey, moved to Oklahoma for a few years.. Ope snuck its way into my vocabulary and I dont even remember when i started using it to begin with.
With my Canadian dialect it is more of an "oop" most times than an "ope" but I still say it dozens of times a day
