Ope let me just cringe right past ya!

In Midwestern parlance, "ope" is a common interjection used when someone makes a small mistake or is about to inconvenience someone. It’s often said instinctively, like when you bump into someone, drop something, or accidentally get in someone’s way. It’s a way of saying "oops" or expressing mild surprise or apology without much thought. For example, "Ope! Let me squeeze right past you!"

What is The Beer Engine?

Every bar worth its salt has its regulars. Cheers had Cliff and Norm, Moe's had Barney and Homer and Lenny and Carl and the guy with the hat and the green vest and that one balding guy (?). Barstool Sports has that maniac who rates pizza and goes on alt-right tirades. Hey, but what if the regulars came to you and maybe the conversations were recorded? Maybe they talked about their beers, and they might have unusual hobbies or know too much about buying beer on the internet. Tony and Griff are the regulars at the bar chatting over a few cold ones about beer, or whatever else is going on. Belly up, crack open a Hamm's and feel free to eavesdrop on what these two drunks are going on about today.
