/Sounds like "so" (as in "solar") + "pass"/
A Mexican exclamation of surprise or quick reaction to something unexpected, similar to "whoa!" or "oh snap!" in English. It slips out when something catches you off guard and you need to express astonishment without thinking too hard about it.
"¡Sopas! No sabía que estabas aquí. -> Whoa! I did not know you were here."
"¡Sopas! ¿Eso es cierto? No me la creo. -> Oh snap! Is that true? I can not believe it."

Trabajar mucho, esforzarse intensamente y darle duro a la chamba sin parar en España. Es meter horas extras y sudar la gota gorda para sacar el trabajo adelante sin quejarse.
