HI,
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of the word "pops" in this sentence"Oh, looky pops can dance."Apparently,the meaning could be daddy or an old man .but why in plural form and with an "s".Any comment would be highly appreciated.

"pops" in this sense is singular. I would guess that -s is a diminutive suffix.
