… to wish people would stop ‘popping’ everywhere?

‘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 can tolerate it in this context, but the use of 'pop' in relation to cosmetic application is a whole new level of nonsense:
"The zingy orange creme shadow will make your eyes pop with colour."
Makes me think of exploding eyeballs.
