It was the childhood name my dad called me, Pop,
short for Poppet.

We were so poor we couldn't afford to buy shoes. I used to wrap my feet in bubble wrap so I could pop to the shops!

Feel free to laugh, it's only a joke! 🤣

I used to watch Top of the Pops

A-ha! We used to have 'Top Of The Pops Buns' for supper on Thursday's as that's when it used to be on!

Once you pop you can't stop - Pringles ads.

To pawn something, as in "pop goes the weasel" and "popped his clogs"

In computing, to read the top value from the stack.

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)

Yair but we’re Australians - we have our own version. 🤪

I think that we are supposed to be adding different contexts

That’s certainly what OP asked. hmm
