like in your head (i assume and hope you don't ever find need to speak this term). sane/pure people say the two letters separately: oh-pee (since it is an acronym and acronyms have no accepted pronunciations in general).

ive come to learn that some lazy heathens have started pronouncing it op, like "sop up my piss with my mouth"

the problem with this is many-fold but mostly that "op" is already a very common shortening of the word "operation" which has nothing to do with this subject

in short: this is wrong and it needs to stop. it's kept me up at night. it's pronounced as two letters.
