what is the correct spelling? is it whopping (as in BK Whopper (this is how you pronounce it btw)) or whooping (as in Woopie Goldberg)? i see it spelled both ways on various forums and i need to know. Im sure there are other terms i'd like settled, but this one came to mind first.

I don't know what you are talking about, those are separate words, as David said.

| I believe "whoop" is a sporting term as in "France whooped Wales at the weekend" or "Ireland whooped England" etc etc. |

That would be whopped - Ireland would have whooped for joy at the result, but England got whopped. ------------- What? |

In America, one can say "England got whooped." "I'm going to whoop your butt." It's slang though. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

I used the word "whopping" twice today, once in real life, and once at JMA.
