visit briefly · make a quick stop
Imagine you're out running errands, and you remember your friend lives nearby. Instead of making a big plan, you decide to just 'pop by' for a quick hello! 👋 It's perfect for casual, unplanned, short visits.
💡 You can also use 'pop in' or 'pop over' with a similar meaning! The key is that the visit is usually brief and often spontaneous. For example, 'I'll pop by the store on my way home.' 🛒 Always make sure it's an appropriate time to 'pop by' someone's place, or give them a quick heads-up!
Your colleague is finishing up their work in the office next door, and you want to ask them a quick question. Which English expression fits this situation? A. get it over with B. pop by C. run that by me again?
