when you wear the collar up on a polo shirt. started in the '80s, the trend has crossed into the 2000's along with mini skirts leggins and tight jeans. people make it out to be the worst thing in the world. thats because there stupid. people do what ever the fuck you want and who gives a shit what others say. they say your collar is gay and your just another drone on an mtv influenced society say hey fuck you kid! i dont need your shit
ever since i can remember ive been poppin' my colla!
a sign that you are offering yourself to be killed, kind of like the flag on your mailbox. if the flag is up, he takes the mail, if your collar is up, we take your life, bc you are a stupid looking fuck, and deserve to die.
Something that metro's do. This act of popping ones collar is a sign that someone is openly metrosexual and will often sport a gelled mohawk, ben sherman polo top, deisel shorts and designer flip flops and listen to dance/trance music. Although they may appear gay, you can find most metro's hanging out at pubs or the beach scamming on young chicks or hairdressers (female). These types of "preppy" metrosexuals are found in Australia and are usually of Aussie or British descent. They also tend to drink alcoholic beverages such as Corona or Carlsberg whilst watching the Rugby or AFl, but tend not to yell or shout like normal aussie blokes. Metro's can also be found hanging out at their local university.
Evan: "Sheit, look at this slamming Ralph Lauren polo shirt Liam! I could do mean things to that collar!!!"
Liam:"Stoked! I think I'm gonna buy me some loafers and some awesome hair products by fudge"
Quite possibly the stupidest preppy trend ever. Makes guys look decidedly gay, and makes girls look stupid and desperate to be popular. Acceptable if you go to a preppy high school, but if you're any older, you just look like a tool.
Preppy poser girl: Hi.
Me: Dude, we're in law school! Why the hell do you pop the collar? You're such a tool.
To escape from police custody. Comes from the colloquial "collaring," or arresting, of a criminal. i.e., criminals who are caught are said to be "collared." Thus, to "pop" the collar is to break free of it, or to escape.
The police tried to arrest Jimmy last night. He had to pop the collar and hide out at my house.
