(Spinoff of "cock
block".) A hop
block occurs when one person impedes another person's attempt to drink beer. Usually a spouse/significant other, but could be any friend, co-worker, or a complete
stranger.
I had the bartender's attention for a moment, but the hot blonde at the other end of the bar keeps hop-blocking me.
I can't meet you to watch the
game today. My
wife pulled a major hop block by scheduling a hairdresser appointment, and I have to watch the
kids.
