Ope I'm a "Girlfriend" now

[Meow Mix]

I was with my now wife ten years before we got married. At that point I was pretty comfortable she wasn't expecting me to magically turn into a prince if she tagged the word 'husband' on me.
And you guys have been together for days and days, which is much the same thing in lesbian-land.

Thanks, choked on some water here

This isn't a sign she's going to shackle you to the bed and not let you out of her sight.

You are describing my Saturday nights for the last month ^.^

No, I'm happy. I'm just a big weirdo with hangups I'm battling

Welcome to the club!

No one ever called me "girlfriend"...<sniff> <sniff>.

But we have things like 'dude' , 'football', and 'man cave'. Also girls bouncing on trampolines.

To be honest, yes.

By that I mean I feel good about it and have misgivings about it. But I'm pretty sure the misgivings are those walls I put up still fighting back.

Forget the misgivings, I reckon. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.

Actually, falling in love is never a mistake.

I'm a taken woman! Going to have to tell all the single ladies they're safe from me. Hmmph.

Well done! When is the U-haul arriving?
But seriously, I hope it works out for you.

Hey we made it a MONTH plus without a U-haul yet, we're doing good in lesbian terms! Positively glacial! lmao

What is "ope"? Is it cockney for "hope"?

What is "ope"? Is it cockney for "hope"?

Other people's expectations.

At least, thats how I've seen it used in the past.

It's a midwest (USA) exclamation.

It's approximately equivalent to "oops."

Midwesterners are hyperaware that they do this, so it's become a self-aware joke among midwesterners.

In natural use it'd be used while trying to get past someone, people would say "Ope, just trying to sneak past you" (it's always sneaking, too)

Also used when making a mistake, or when doing something dubious everyone is expecting of you as Lewis said ("ope, I did it again")

Wimin have taken "dude", & made it their own too.
But when they bounce on trampolines I forgive them.

This is the most feminist show ever on TV.
