blooped

Landed just past

Blooped is the past tense of bloop, an onomatopoeic verb for making a short, hollow sound—like a drop hitting water or an electronic tone.

In baseball, a bloop is a weakly hit ball that drops between infielders and outfielders: He blooped a single into shallow right field.

The word suggests something soft, accidental, or slightly comic.
