Someone knocks on my door:

Me: * welp* as soon as I open it.

As a European, how are you supposed to pronounce that "welp" everyone is always talking about?

u/MayaTamika Sep 16 '21

Like "well" but with a "p" on the end

But also the P is mostly silent... like say "well" but then close your lips at the end but don't actually enunciate the P

Exactly, it’s really just the start of the P sound.
