Hello everybody.
He’s up there for about five minutes, and I’m just about to go up and find him when he returns. His face looks pale and he quickly masks a strange expression with a smile that’s just a little too bright and breezy.
‘Sorry. Just popped upstairs for my slippers.’
I looked up pop in the dictionary, but the meaning does not satisfy me. I guess it should mean he delayed on the upstairs because there was some thing wrong with his slippers.
What does the men really mean by 'Just popped upstairs for my slippers'?
I really appreciate you for your help and time.
