whoops

Whoops is an expression we use when something unexpected happens or when we make a mistake.

When someone says "whoops," they often mean that they've done something unintentional, like spilling a drink on their shirt. It can also be used as a way to apologize for making a mess or causing trouble. For example, if you accidentally knock over a vase, you might say "whoops" to show that you didn't mean to break it. Sometimes people even use whoops when they're surprised by something funny or unexpected – like seeing someone jump out from behind a door.
