So I know I asked you about it earlier. In my high school snob days I took pains to convert myself to "soda." I still have to translate it in my head like when you learn a second language you don't use regularly.
How about "ope"? I only recently realized I use this!
But Cincinnati is a little more southern. I used to be able to peg kids from Cincinnati at Ohio State when they would say "pardon?" instead of something slightly more rude.
Ope, gonna scooch right past ya. Definitely and "Ope"r. During the pandemic I played Call of Duty with some of my friends and they knew something bad was about to happen when the Ope Alarm came out.

Update at Kroger a few hours ago: "Would you like your pop in a bag?" Yes, ma'am, I would.
