    so do some folks use opp as “opponent”? Sure, that’s believable. But I feel fairly confident…

    Bro, it doesn’t even have the right number of P’s for your reasoning to make any sense.

    It comes from “opponent,” that’s why there are two P’s. It comes from video games/chess/card games/etc where you refer to the person or persons you’re playing against as the “opponent”. It’s been happening for many years but has made it’s way into gen z slang.
