When did put become 'pop' and why does it bug me so much?!

[EinsteinaGogo]

Pop it in the oven
Pop it in the fridge
Pop it into your bag.

Arghhh. So twee. So

When did plain old fashioned 'put' get ousted?

Am I alone in my angst?!

And what other words grate on you?

@Bearsbearsbears40

We tend to use “nip to the shop” more than pop, but I do use pop for other examples. The one that really grates for me is “dropping” someone an email. What happened to just sending one?

I actually really like a nip!

And in a medical setting: 'pop up here', 'pop behind the screen'. I always thought it was to make it all a bit friendlier/less threatening but it is quite infantilising.

I don’t like the over use of the word pop, either.

It’s not as bad as that awful trend a few years ago when people used the word cheeky to describe anything from going to a fast food restaurant to nipping to the toilet.

Excited

Everyone is so excited - me, I can't be bovvered

I don’t mind pop. But I hate “need gone”

“Need gone” makes me so angry and I have no idea why.

Penned instead of wrote.

Oh agree with PP 'gifted' actually gives me the rage.

I rarely pop but I do sometimes chuck..

Chuck it in the oven
Chuck it in the fridge
Chuck it upstairs

Perhaps I'm more aggressive than twee?

I think 'gifted' seems to have connotations of being given in an almost professional capacity, like with gifting suites at the Oscars, celebrities being given handbags etc. It feels completely wrong if you are talking about a gift between family members etc. (and makes me think the person saying it is heavily into celeb culture and is a bit of a fantasist!)

I don't pop I stick

My old boss used to say 'ping that to me'. I'd stop, look over my glasses and say 'literally, write it on a piece of paper and throw it across the room?' and he would say 'no, in an email' and go red.

Twat.

Oh yes, I had forgotten about "cheeky". A cheeky pint gives me the rage!

I don't pop I stick

I pop, stick and bung 😂

I'm another one who sticks things in the oven or freezer.

YY to things dropping. Seems that no-one can keep hold of TV shows or clothes these days, the amount of new things that are 'dropped'.

I must admit I use pop and can see why it's annoying.

When did husband become hubby? That's far more annoying.

Nurses often say pop.
Eg
Pop your top off
Pop up on the bed
etc
No, I don't like it.

I'm more likely to use; sling it, bung it or shove it.

When did invitation become invite? And electricity become electric? And innit came to mean something totally different to isn't it?

I think "I'll send you an invite" gets to me the most. Apart from "I'll come with". With what? A dog? Cake? Bottle of wine? Covid perhaps??

I was in discussion with a company on Twitter when he said "Just ping us your details" I said Ping?? Is that the same as email?? He apologised and yes Yes, sorry! Email your details please

My oh overuses the word ‘stick’! He uses this word for everything in the same way as OP finds those using the word pop. Stick it in the oven, stick the kettle on,
It is casual to use these words but there are other words that could be used, it’s just lazy!
My other pet hate is the phrases tv hosts ask the audiences to ‘ give it up, make some noise’. What’s that all about? I guess I’m just a bit old fashioned as saying something like ‘ how about a round of applause ‘ just doesn’t sound fresh enough!

“Pop” it in the oven is fine by me – it implies an airy, carefree attitude conjuring scone-baking in my country farmhouse kitchen while Boden-clad children and chickens totter in and out, vs the careful, dour, rule-following “put”. Not here for “chuck it in the oven”, though. Like some kind of student.

I disapprove of any sort of popping; in the over or to the shops. It's all wrong and Very Bad.

I has been around for years though OP, this popping malarky. Weird how you don't notice things and then for whatever reason it seems everywhere. My current one is that everyone now seems to be saying '... as it were." It annoys me (but not to a popping level).

I'd rather pop something in the fridge than wear something to give a pop of colour to an outfit.

I hate "sourcing".

No Dsis you did not "source" this necklace, you bought it on Etsy 🙄

Doesn't 'innit' mean isn't it?
