This is just guesswork, but I figured it must be:

"oO" - looks like a buggy from the side (with bigger rear wheels)

You then mate that with "people"

... and get "oOple" So it would mean "Buggy People"...

(Your buggy is going backwards btw)

Yeh I thought about the "Oooh Pull"

I also thought about it being a mistype at some point which causes a chuckle, and so stuck...

Or perhaps we'll never really know.

Ben, I thought we had this conversation before about such posts? And it's not to do with some goth vampire chick in the USA or a 14 yr old girl on myspace either!

It's entirely fabricated 10 years ago nearly! www.oopleworld.com will be the mother ship website oneday
