oopsie
Toddler's admission
Oopsie is a playful exclamation acknowledging a small mistake or accident, often used by or around children: Oopsie, I spilled my juice.
Adults use it ironically or affectionately for minor blunders.
As a noun, an oopsie is the mistake itself: That was a bit of an oopsie.
The word softens errors into something cute rather than serious.
