woopsie
Cute minor blunder
Woopsie is a playful, childish way of acknowledging a minor mistake or accident: Woopsie, I spilled my coffee.
It softens blame and treats the error as trivial or endearing.
The word often appears when speaking to children or when adults want to sound cute about their own blunders.
Also spelled whoopsie.
