… to wish people would stop ‘popping’ everywhere?

[Elision]

‘Pop to the shops’, ‘pop upstairs’ ‘pop out’, ‘pop in’… stop bloody popping! You can ‘go’ and ‘walk’ and all sorts of other verbs. When people say ‘pop’ I imagine them smugly teleporting with a little wink and a little bell sound and it’s infuriating. Sometimes I imagine the teleport going wrong and the popper ending up stuck halfway through the wall dying an agonising gory death to calm myself down.

I'm a popper. Nothing wrong with it.

I just wish everyone would stop turning around when they are talking to people.

Yeah, the dizzy-making feckers.

My friend is from Canada and it's his favourite term from the UK😂 he had never heard of it before but uses it all the time now!

I'll nip round rather than pop round.
I whack dinner on.

I love to pop, also to whack (as in whack the kettle on, actually that’s more of an order as in “DH whack the kettle on”)

Cross-post with FiveLittlePigs 😂

fruity I nip too. I hate it when people (MIL) “pop in” with no notice.

I very much thought this was going to be a complaint about windy bottoms from the op title!
Anyway yabu I love popping and people who pop.

Ooh I think I like ‘whack’. It has a lovely frisson of violence that definitely appeals.

I whack dinner on, pop to the shops, ping off emails and sometimes...and you’ll hate me have a picky tea 😊

What about stick on?

Stick on a wash? I pity people trying to learn colloquial English!

Did Micky Flanagan single handedly bring “the pop” back to life?
“I’m not even Out. I only Popped Out. Now look at me - I’m Out Out!”

YANBU I can see why it’s annoying but pop can be useful. ‘I’ll pop in for a bit’ is the modern ‘I’ll come and visit with you.’

My dh is a Sarf Londoner and his common saying is, "I'm (effing) off to...". I do say pop or nip . I have also caught the saying, "Let's bounce" as a way of urging people to get going which really gets my family's nerves. I try and sound cool and fail, daily...

Was going to say stick a wash on, stick dinner on
Pop sounds so wet
Whack is too violent. Stick is a nice middle ground

Oh yes I ping anything technological - texts, emails etc.

I chuck washing on.

I swear it’s the English obsession with not appearing too earnest if I remember Watching The English correctly (ages since I read it). Pop stick whack ping all suggest you don’t care that much. Taking anything seriously is taboo.

Pop and nip are interchangeable here. Occasionally, I even go off piste and drop, when visiting.

I definitely stick things in the oven, rather than whacking them though.

I’m a popper and a nipper!

I pop to the shops sometimes, when I'm going quickly for something specific. I often wander to the shops once the kids are in bed, a relaxed and enjoyable trip during which I'll browse the middle aisles.

I pop to the loo all the time

IF someone says they will 'pop in' the you know they aren't stopping long. Result.

It’s the chucking and slinging and throwing I don’t like. “I just throw some beans in, sling some salmon on top and throw it in the oven”. Well don’t. Just put the stuff in.

I even saw a poster the other day who described putting a tumble dryer in as chucking some work surface somewhere and then slinging a tumble dryer on top. I was imagining a crazed DIYer barrelling around the house like a lunatic.

I hate popping, hopping and jumping (pop to the shops, hop on the bed (favourite of medical professionals), jump in the car. I also hate being out and about. Personally, I'm just out.

Oh dear...I pop everywhere!😆
