An ambiguous word; the meaning depends on the context in which it is used. Primarily used to express an emotion or to fill a void in a conversation.
1. Its conventional meaning can be defined as an exclamation used during times in which a plausible response is non-existent.
2. Also used as a lighthearted response to hearing an unfortunate comment or disappointing news. In this context it is usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal or when it primarily affects someone else; it's sort of a mild schadenfreude.
3. The meaning can be emphasized with the additional of the vowel "o" and therefore changing the sound similar to trombone. "Ploooooop."
4. Onomatopoeic use imitates the sound of feces hitting the toilet bowl during a bowel movement. This is the common form seen on urban dictionary but perhaps not the most pleasant as it is associated with disgusting imagery
5. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect.
