Definitions

  1. burst open with a sharp, explosive sound

Word origin

From Middle English pop, poppe (“a blow; strike; buffet”) (> Middle English poppen (“to strike; thrust”, verb)), of onomatopoeic origin – used to describe the sound, or short, sharp actions. The physics sense is part of a facetious sequence "snap, crackle, pop", after the mascots of Rice Krispies cereal.

Used in a sentence

  • Listen to the pop of a champagne cork.
  • Lunch was sandwiches and a bottle of pop.
  • You have not taken anything off "pop" yet, and "pop" is the working-class drink. For the working-classes it is "pop" and cockles, just as with the upper classes it is champagne and oysters.
