[Ads-l] "ope", interj.

[Ben Zimmer]

I don't recall the interjection "ope" coming up here before... It's now the
subject of a HuffPost piece by a writer who is supremely annoyed by it, but
who at least had the good sense to call upon some ADSers (Grant Barrett,
Connie Eble, Michael Adams, and me).
