He popped off this mortal coil .

No -Hamlet talked about shuffling off this mortal coil

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long a life. . (3.1.56-69)

Pop a pimple. As in Dr. Pimple Popper.

Has anybody mentioned the exclusive society Pop at Eton where the members wear fancy waistcoats?

My mum hated ‘common’ words like bum and trump - so when anyone passed wind we always had to say that they had ‘popped’ 😂
