Ope is absolutely something I say all the time... ALL THE TIME. and I'm from Michigan.
-
Every time I hear myself say "ope, sorry, lemme squeeze right past ya" I have to internally pause for a second and go "there's the accent" 😂
-
Haha, I’m a Michigander and this is spot on! Heck, even Michigander Eminem uses the classic “Ope!” in ‘Lose Yourself’ (“Snap, back to reality. Ope! There goes gravity. Ope! There goes Rabbit...”) 😁
-
nobody: me: ope my bad
-
I do "horror" like "mirror". Meer=Mirror. Hor=Horror. Dang Michigan accents 🤣
-
In Louisiana I was told "Yall talk funny." Then I realized we have an accent in Michigan.
-
It’s pop! Vernor’s is the cure for all that medicinal problems!!! Lol
-
From the UP originally...I’ve never heard fudgies before but we do call lower Michiganders trolls. Get it? Because they’re under the bridge. 🤣
-
I always catch myself saying "Ope! 'scuse me!"
-
same thing with Warren. apparently i say it like “Warn”
-
One big thing I’ve noticed as a Michigander is we all start some of our sentences with “yeah no”. And I’m not sure if it’s a just us thing😂
-
C’meer= Come over here
-
Live in Ohio, from Michigan and my boyfriend gets annoyed when I talk with my accent. Doesn't help his best friend is from Minnesota so we go back and forth just to annoy him lol
-
I said “ OPE” all the time 😂😂😂 I moved to LA and people were like what?!? Lol
-
I’ve heard a lot of people say that our Michigan accent almost sounds Canadian. Sometimes I catch myself where it does sound Canadian with certain words. Anyone else?
-
I never thought michiganders had an accent until like 10 years ago when I met another American in the Bahamas that asked me if I was from Michigan. I say "OPE" all the time and every once in a while I catch myself in an awkward situation where I'm thinking "Is OPE even a word? Why did I say that? Does this stranger understand the OPE thing or am I crazy? " We live in a special place.
-
Haha...this is all legit! Lookit, Ope (everyday), Secretariahstate, Meer, Didjeet. No, never melk where I’m from.
-
Never realized I had a Michigan accent until I moved. I notice confused faces sometimes when I start combining words that I don’t even know I’m combining. I’ll have to stop and start over and break everything up.
-
"Come here" is another one...how many of you say "cameer"?
-
didnt realise how much i said ope as sorry lmaooo
