Re: what is OPR?

Are you sure you meant OPR and not ORP?

ORP is oxidation-reduction potential.

Re: what is OPR?

"O.P.P." is a 1991 song recorded by rap group Naughty By Nature. The song was one of the first rap songs to become a pop hit when it reached number 6 in the US and number 35 in the UK in 1991.

Oops! You said ORP! Nevermind!

Re: what is OPR?

Actually, Opp is a city (if you can call it that) in southern Alabama. From what my father told me it was originally named Opportunity and later shortened to Opp when the residents found out that there was none.
