Your last words being "Whoops", probably greatly increases the odds that someone writes about your death

Though it probably also greatly decreases the odds of anyone knowing your last word.

Roald Dahl, trying to have nice last words, to his family: “You know, I'm not frightened. It's just that I will miss you all so much."
Actual last words, getting hit with a needle of morphine: “ow, fuck!”
"Whoopsie daisy. I started a nuclear meltdown."
Whistles and walks away
- Can someone uwu that sentence?
  
  Whoopsie daisy. I stawted a nucweaw mewtdown.
If the situation calls for it, I would be too tempted to say:
“What are you gonna do? Shoot me?”
- You cowards, at this distance they can't even hit a barn door.
One of the super hazy vague memories of the crash that broke my neck and back when 2 SUVs played bumper cars in front of me on a bicycle commute was me saying: "Well that sucks." – Very VERY nearly my last words.
So, from my experience, "Whoops!" is the statement of your murderer. Most people with a kill to death ratio greater than zero probably share this feature.
- I have also been in a lot of accidents and it's kinda surprising how often it's just "oh no, not again"
  After getting hit by a car one time enough to roll up it and off the side my words were "not the worst day I've had" before going to the hospital.
  
  'Oh no, not again' is something a bowl of petunias would say at the time of reincarnation.
I'd argue that if you had time to say 'whoops' it probably didn't kill you.
- I mean, how pedantic are you being here? If you did something accidentally that, say, cut up a major artery, you can bleed out in seconds but with enough time to say "whoops". So are you arguing that like, it's not the cut/action that led to the cut, but rather the loss of blood that did the actual killing?
- Air is leaving your lungs anyways. Doesnt take much effort to add some sounds. You would be surprised how long it feels on the dying side.
  
  As some one who has died before, I agree
Dead Like Me had a bit about this. Everyone’s last words are documented when they die, and almost all of them are something like “ow,” “what?” or “oh, crap!”
- Oh my god i forgot about that! Yes. And great show.
How about “hold my beer…”
"...well, shit."
