stack, and the fact that procedure return addresses are usually
saved on the stack] (also capitalized `POP') 1. vt. To remove
something from a stack or PDL. If a person says he/she
has popped something from his stack, that means he/she has finally

things hanging overhead. 2. When a discussion gets to a level of
detail so deep that the main point of the discussion is being lost,
someone will shout "Pop!", meaning "Get back up to a higher
level!" The shout is frequently accompanied by an upthrust arm
with a finger pointing to the ceiling. 3. [all-caps, as `POP']
