Then you mean PoP.

POP in retail means point of purchase

POP is also Post Office Protocol in email settings

Pop = soda and what my grandkids called my dad

pop is the sound some containers make when opened

all depends on which letters are capitalized doesn't it?

Exactly correct! The thread-starter here did wrong in his topic-title wording name/text presentation.

The great thing about context is the link clearly showed which version I was referencing. Did the link bring you to a grandfather (pop), or a sound?

I've always called it soda. Is Pop more south/midwest?
 
I've heard it called "pop" in Western NY. I'm not sure who makes the rules on what 'the midwest' is. From my perspective it starts around Erie PA which could or could not include Buffalo; "Heavy Great Lakes manufacturing" being the litmus test.

When I was a kid in western NC, soda was called "dope" by many people. I've always heard it was in reference to the small amount of cocaine that was in the early original formula of Coca Cola.
 
So what can you tell us about Probability of precip? Local weather guys are great at figuring to a 10 minute window when a storm will hit when they check the radar. Pops to the grands BTW

Good one ^^^!

Pop- the increase in positive appearance of an object by the help of another factor

Ex. The thin red pin stripe gave the black Camero an added pop.
