whoopsie-daisy
Cutesy mistake exclamation
Whoopsie-daisy is a playful exclamation when something goes slightly wrong—a small stumble, a dropped object, a minor mistake.
It's gentler and more whimsical than a plain "whoops," often used around children or to lighten an awkward moment: Whoopsie-daisy, I spilled the milk.
The word treats mishaps as amusing rather than serious.
