to dislike popping?

[RuleBritannia]

I went to my hairdresser today.

1. Could she pop the 'sheet' around my shoulders
2. Could I pop my spectacles off
3. I can now pop them back on
4. Could I pop my head back over the basin
5. Could I pop back to the first chair
6. Pop the newspaper over there
7. Could I pop my card number in
8. Could I pop the card out of the machine

I've never heard it used to many times. Is it modern speak or was I being patronised? Now I'm wondering if I can tolerate another visit.

I have to say that I used to 'pop down to the shop' for something needed immediately though.

Blisters
Pus filled spots
Bubble wrap
Soap bubbles
The side of your mouth with your fingers.

Everything on my list can be popped. None of the things on your list can. I would have found that deeply annoying too. But was it a good haircut?

I thought you were going to express a dislike of this

I read that is pooping >>wanders off

Gaaah, yanbu. I went for a smear test once and was told to pop up on the table. I'be not been able to hear 'pop' used like that since without wanting to run screaming from the room.

I thought you mean when people do it with their knuckels which is VILE!

Are you going to pop back to read your replies?

I would tell them to pop off.

Yanbu

Patronising gits.

Bet you look nice, poppet :):):)

It's been around a long time, I think.

IIRC there was a case back in the late 90s of an English Nanny in the US who was charged with killing the child in her care. In her statement, she said she'd 'popped the child on the bed'. This was unfortunate, as to pop someone in US English is to hit them, so they took it as a confession that she'd deliberately hit the child's head on the bedframe.

I remember arguing with Americans back in the day on the old CNN forum about this difference in US/UK usage.

It would be marvellous if she lived with a GP I know .... Just pop your clothes over there. Pop on the table for me. Could you pop into the loo and get me a sample. I'm just going to pop this cuff over your arm.. etc. They could patronisingly pop at each other all day long!!!

Argh yanbu- someone at dd1 s school must say it as she has become a 'popper'...

I thought you meant Amyl Nitrate and it was 1975 in Studio 54.......

ha ha katie.

and poppers are still going strong. Saw awoman selling them from her bicycle basket in Pride in Brighton in the summer.

I say nip - I will nip to the shops.

I pop things - so pop the washing upstairs.

I loathe it too.

I also hate that poncey expression 'pop-up shop' or 'pop-up restaurant' - why can't they be described as 'temporary'.

My DH always says I'm just going to 'jump' in the shower. For gods sake, why?

pops knuckles to calm myself down

I didn't even realise I said 'pop' until I began to hear my toddler say it in context all the time.

She 'pops' everything everywhere now.

I think it's quite cute.

My ex used to say he was going to 'climb' into bed. He was -6'4" fgs. Then whilst in bed, he wkuld tell me he was going to bed, meaning fall.asleep.

The dickhead!!!!

My dental hygienist says this all the time: "I'll just pop up the back there". The first time she did it I nearly choked with the giggles, and still do a bit, as I always have the laughing gas, and can't get the double entendre out of my mind.

My old hairdresser always used to ask me if I wanted "to come across" (to the basin). Used to reduce my boyfriend to muffled hysterics

Pop in
Pop out
Pop out of a walk
Pop into the park

Can't stop, got to pop

Or something like that anyway.

I'm going to see my surgeon tomorrow. He always says "pop up on to the bed" "pop over on your front" "pop on to your left side" "now pop on to your back" etc!

You know I am either going to giggle or go because of this thread now!

Solesource - :o

carocaro Yes, I've just come back to read them.

WinklyVersusThe Zombies It wasn't a haircut. It was a semi-permanent colouring 'cos I have some parties coming up.

Winkly Do you really pop pus filled spots? Thumb nail each side? I hope you have a tissue ready.

Does a helpful baby pop out when it's born?

I always used to think that 'pop' meant a small explosive sound; like a balloon popping for instance. I don't think I'd like to clear up after Pop Goes The Weasel!

pop in
pop out
pop over the road
pop in to the shop
can't stop
got to pop
pop where? pop what?

well I've got to pop....

I think mrshoarder

Pringles, once you pop you can't stop.

I thought you were talking about 'wind'..
