From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  pop /pop/ [from the operation that removes the top of a 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 finished working on it and can now remove it
     from the list of 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'] Point of
     Presence, a bank of dial-in lines allowing customers to make (local)
     calls into an ISP. This is borderline techspeak.
