When someone is trying to discreetly do something on purpose to drop a hint that would be rude to say out loud, they'll say "oops" to pretend that it was accidental.
A mom enters a checkout lane with four screaming little brats.
Annoyed, the man standing behind her drops a package of condoms in the woman's cart and says, "Oops!" but he does not remove the package.

Get the Oops mug.Alternate spelling of "oof", which is an onomatopoeia (word that sounds like the noise it describes or refers to, in this case the sound a person makes upon impact with an unexpected force that knocks the breathe out of them).
It is more of a 'sound effect' than an actual word, used to indicate that someone feels the impact of a powerful or meaningful statement someone made, or sympathizes with the crushing blow another person experienced. In this regard, it's a synonym for "ouch".
This alternate spelling may be used as a stylistic preference, or to avoid the confusion of this now somewhat uncommonly used word being mistaken as a typo of "of" or "off".
