Bad enough when used in a food type context but when applied to a pair of shoes or a man...

Golly gumdrops. You are in a bit of a blue funk aren't you? Do you just like people to be totally boring factual?

No - have not seen lisad's use of yummy praise the lord

I say pop it in the oven, I'll pop over in a minute.

But that reminds me of my all time biggest HATE - Pop for fizzy drinks! Combined with Tin instead of can "Tin of Pop" and I'm practically this colour >>
