Wait just a minute.....

Since we have been discussing various "ethnic" pronunciations, I am
compelled to point out that this statement may be interpeted differently
than intended.

As a born\bred survivor of the land of redneck, pickup truck, and chewing
tobacco, I assert that a "whoop" is a loud yelling type of activity. The
execution of which on someone's posterior will bring a certain confusion to
your enemy ( he will think you are a fruit ), but will not render him
defeated.

I laughed so hard at this mental image it made me hurt. :)

Try "whup" next time, as in "opening a can of whup-ass".

BTW, my money's on Tony.
