0 Hi Oncogene, 02br 00You know that Mary Poppins is a character in a Walt Disney movie with the same title (1964), adopted from a series of books with the same title. Mary Poppins does some magic, so she could be considere as someone who does freaking things, unusual things! When someone is called Mary freakin' Poppins, it probably refers to the odd and unusual things that she/he does.

0 LanguageLover is correct about who Mary Poppins is, but I disagree about what the "freakin'" means in that context. 'Freaking' is often used as a euphemism for a certain profanity (y'know, the so-called F-word). The "freakin'" in this context is simply there to for emphasis. 0-
