Stoop

Stoop may refer to:

a steep dive toward prey by a bird of prey. During a stoop the raptor folds its wings and brings its talons forward, ready to catch its prey
urban stoop, a small staircase leading to the entrance of an apartment building in an urban setting
a pejorative term for a member of the Social Democratic and Labour Party of Northern Ireland (SDLP). Originally developed by those associated with Provisional Sinn Féin from an alternative translation of SDLP - Stoop Down Low Party, meant to indicate the SDLPs more conciliatory approach to dealing with the governments of the UK and Ireland. It has since been taken back by the SDLP and their supporters, who use it as a personal, non-derogatory description.

See also stoup, a basin for holding holy water.
