Is there any way for me to care about this question? Apparently no.

I don't think even Kurt Hummel (love him!) would be caught dead saying "whoopsie daisy." He's far too chic.

If saying "Whoopsie daisy" is a dealbreaker for most women, no wonder so many women have trouble finding men.

Hugh Grant's character in "Notting Hill" accidentally uttered "whoopsie daisy" and still landed Julia Robert's character--they had a good laugh about it, if I remember correctly. I'm just saying, I'd have to look at the context it was used in, if it's said a lot, things like that before I considered it a dealbreaker.

Well I'm glad that important question has been cleared up.

"Hugh Grant's character in "Notting Hill" accidentally uttered "whoopsie daisy" and still landed Julia Robert's character" Key word being Hugh Grant. If a guy looks like him, Brad Bit or a short list of other celebrities you get away with a lot. Reminds me of the Tom Brady sexual harassment skit on SNL.

Also NicoleK has a point. If all he did to kill the date was that the date is a fucking idiot. Really that's all it took to completely invalidate a guy? I'm almost wondering if he has other stereotype behavior of said elderly aunt, like being a nudge. I use "whoopsie" when I've accidentally (or intentionally) done something supper dangerous to lighten the mood. Usually involving something the goes boom, too short fuse, hot loaded ammo etc.

I typically say whoopsie daisy after I cut off peoples hands to wear them on my head like antlers. I'd never considered that I might come off as effeminate.

"...when I've accidentally (or intentionally) done something supper dangerous..." Would that be like stuffing a turkey with TNT?
"Man, those gunpowder-filled gnocchis really hit the spot."

"Notting Hill"?! What happened in a work of fiction is entirely irrelevant to this presumably real-world question.

supper dangerous......

Fine, fine super. Yes not supper.

Of course, if you're seeing "Notting Hill" with a woman you're either the boyfriend or husband, or solidly mired in the friend zone.

Another weenie-missive. Maybe this is from the purported US Army man who complained service life was rough because he sometimes had to sleep in a tent, when on drill.

"Whoopsie-daisy" probably won't run off your date as fast as "Fuckin' A!"

Unless "whoopsie daisy" is your safe phrase.

MonicaP, you've single-handedly rekindled my interest in this topic! Gonna be a hard one to get out around the ball gag though...

Okay, so it's a question of

"Oh, whoopsie-poopsie! I faw down go boom!"

versus

"Oh $#%@! I'm on my $%^&* ass here!"

Is that it? Are grown-ups really that self-conscious?

Nobody over the age of 12 should utter "whoopsie-daisy".

"Oops" is far more compact and doesn't sound stupid.

"Fuck!" will get you thrown out of the restaurant. (Shouted in my kitchen, it would get the dog to come running looking for ground scores).

My mom is long dead, as is that phrase. I'm surprised anyone younger than me has heard it, much less said it.

"If saying "Whoopsie daisy" is a dealbreaker for most women, no wonder so many women have trouble finding men"

But hey, at least they can feel better about it by making sweeping belittling jokes poking fun at men by positing random, trifling matters as being deep flaws they had to run from. It's so funny, ha ha, and hey, it's a good ego-soother, however brief it may last. I wonder what women who make comments like LW's are really running from.

That said though, I recently accidentally blurted out "okie dokes" while on a date, and I must admit I was red-faced ... I reckon that's at least as bad as "whoopsie daisie". No idea where it came from, it's definitely not something I'd normally say. I just made a joke of it though, and fortunately the date just laughed and didn't think much of it.

This is seriously a problem? No wonder a plain, slightly overweight woman like me doesn't have trouble finding a man.

Whoopsie daisey?? How sweet? please, you can't all be for real? I find it sweet and endearing! hahaha I would laugh and love it :-)

Since having a child, my husband is known to slip on occasion with baby talk (for instance, while working at the fire station, telling the guys "I'm gonna go sleepies, wake me up when its dinnertime") maybe the guy works with kids, and forgot to turn off the kid talk?
