oopsies
Small accidental errors
Oopsies is a playful or childish exclamation acknowledging a minor mistake or accident: Oopsies, I spilled my coffee.
It softens blame and sounds deliberately cute, often used with children or ironically among adults to minimize a blunder.
As a noun, oopsies can mean the mistakes themselves: We all make little oopsies.
