How are you doing? Thanks for the reply. I still have a little question. How can one can dress and talk casually, but how can take a sleeping pill in a casual way? Do you mean to say taking medicine not in a regular way, not always twice a day. A sufferer doesn't follow the package instruction or doctor's advice; he takes when he feel like taking.
I used the phrase 'casually taking' a sleeping pill in the sense that the pills are taken without due consideration of their efficacy or appropriateness. 'Popping' also carries the physical attibute of quickly and adroitly, as if an unthinking habit. So: not necessarily irregularly, but probably not following the doctor's advice, and when 'he feels like taking' them.
1- pop corn 2- pop a slpeeping pill 3- pop the question
I see. They are in some sense carry physical attribute of promptly and adroitly. I like the word "adroitly" you used. It's a good word that reminds me when I have an upset stomach, I pop the medcidine or placebo to relieve the bad feeling. How adroit we are! You, too?!
