rut roh
Animated dog's exclamation
Rut roh is an exclamation of alarm or dismay, mimicking the speech pattern of Scooby-Doo, the cartoon dog who pronounces words with an initial R sound.
It functions like "uh oh" but with a playful, comedic tone that acknowledges trouble while keeping things light.
Rut roh, I think I just sent that email to the wrong person.
